The operator said: "Stylish, spacious and comfortable, with a choice of elegant public areas, restaurants and just 702 cabins, she is ideal for Fred Olsen's style of cruising. On board Borealis you’ll find you’re never overcrowded.
"There is always ample room in which to indulge yourself in the stylish dining venues, enjoy a glass of your favourite tipple and fantastic entertainment at the bars, lounges and theatres, and while away the hours by the all-season pool.
"Borealis fits perfectly into our small ship fleet and, like all our vessels, has her own elegant design touches. Even the pattern and weave of the British-made carpets were hand-chosen by Fred Olsen Jnr, with attention to the finer details every step of the way."
Back in January the luxury ship MS Borealis was docked for several weeks due to a covid outbreak onboard. It was supposed to be sailing to the Caribbean, however had to return to Liverpool and dock for two weeks.
