- Here's my walking tour of Fred Olsen Borealis, each deck covered in detail, every venue, all the open decks, the spa, thermal suite, pools, bars, restaurants, the whole promenade deck, even the laundry, you name it, it's here! Come with me and explore at a leisurely pace, no comfy shoes needed, and let's see what this cruise ship has to offer!
My wife and I are sat back and relaxed with coffee and carrot cake to hand.
Thanks for your time recording this vlog.
Oh now I forgot to mention to have carrot cake to hand! Now that’s a great idea 😁
Sit back, relax, grab a drink and let me do all the walking as we tour this great ship!
A cruise ship that actually looks like a ship.
No tiered aft though!
@@TravelBlogJamie awww I love me a nice tiered aft
I have had the pleasure of sailing on the Borealis, Fantastic ship, Amazing food and the crew could not do enough for you.
It’s a great ship and crew, totally agree
Norwegian Fjords ln May/June. Great ship, great food and crew.
Usually I’d say ‘those are some funky colours!’ but I just got off a a Carnival cruise and in comparison these colours aren’t crazy at all. Ha ha. Thanks for this video, I’ve never cruised Fred Olsen it’s interesting to have a look around. I’d happily sail on this ship. ❤
Oh hey Emma! Those carnival colours live up to the brand name for sure 😂 Did you have a good time?
We were soooo impressed with the Fred Way! Hoping to book on to Bolette next ❤️
@@TravelBlogJamie Yesss! Had a great time thank you. Glad to hear it! :-)
@@EmmaCruises awesome: I’m still in 2 minds about Carnival but will keep pondering 🤔
Wow this save me walking to look around the ship😊
😂
Beautiful photography. You do such a great job with voiceover would love to hear more of your comments and great humor.
Thank you very much 😊
Thanks for the great video. Love the way you walked the viewer through the ship with just the occasional comment and pleasant music rather than the running commentary you normally get with videos. We are going on our very first cruise next week aboard the Borealis and weren't sure what to expect but after watching the video, I think we are going to love it!
Borealis is a fantastic ship - I always feel like I’m home onboard ❤️
Great video Jamie,made me feel l wanted to go on this lovely ship 😊
A great surprise for us - loved Borealis
Love the wooden promenade deck
It’s such a lovely space and never too busy either
I was on her last may. Absolutely beautiful ship.
Certainly is ❤️
We love this tour. We had dismissed Fred Olsen but now we will cruise with them. The ship looks fab. We dont like the gold bling but everything else comes across fab. Thank you. Janetx
I’m not much into gold bling either but otherwise, fabulous!
This looks lovely never done a cruise we did the waverley paddle steamer and sailed passed either this or bolette. Xxxx❤❤❤❤ i like the more traditional look like this. Xxx
It’s beautiful
Excellent ship tour and beautiful as Fred Olsen keep its standard 👌
Thank you 🙏
Thankyou
🙏
Wow 😮 this has jumped to the top of my list!! Thank you so much for this informative vlog… ❤
Very very welcome 🙏
Excellent review, articulate and well presented 👍🏻
Thank you - much appreciated
She looks amazing
A fabulous ship!
Must say it looks lovely, knocks spots off Aurora,our time on her recently felt very enclosed, but would give FO a go. As usual thanks for your review Jamie
Very welcome indeed 🙏
cant wait on this ship 5th December xmas market cruise . Thanks for insight 😊
Oh I love a Xmas market cruise - have a great time!!
It's your fault Jamie! Such a good review, we are looking at this ship to sail on. Great video. Adrian & Roberta.
Oh you must! She’s beautiful!
Thanks for another awesome ship tour and review Jamie! Brilliant as ever 🤩
We had no idea that Borealis was a former Rotterdam! Given the reputation of HAL and Fred Olsen its no surprise that she is such a beautiful ship 😍
You're absolutely right about that laundrette - that is a great facility! We do love a good laundrette 😅
Also - the world needs more indoor heated pools on cruise ships! Who do we speak to about starting a petition? 😅
Oh yes, so many ships have heated pools but seem to not ‘turn up’ the warmth! This one was fab!
@@TravelBlogJamie we think "nice bath" temperature should be the goal 😁
Very informative video thanks. Interesting the card room was called Bolette after Borealis's sister ship! I'm a fan of Bolette, lots of similarities but think some of the spaces and bars are cosier incl colours.
Thank you 🙏
I just watched this because we have been on several Holland America cruises. The Borealis looks brand new and worth a try. Many of our friends have been Holland America fans for years and are now disappointed that the smaller ships are leaving the fleet. We've been on 2 of their larger ships (Konigsdam and Nieuw Statendam) as well as the Maasdam and enjoyed the bigger ships as much as the Maasdam. We might try Borealis if one of their itineraries interests us in the future. Thanks Jamie for the review.
You’re welcome, Richard! We really enjoyed Borealis - a lovely pace of cruising for sure
Look at sister ship Bolette, almost same and my fave.
Wow those carpets, who knew they came like that. You have to try and imagine who chose them and why?
Colour colour colour
Nice blog
Thank you 🙏
Hi just come back from iona cruise,beautiful ship but our cabin was dirty and had to ask or the bedding to be changed as they were very obviously the previous cruisers bedding and although we did enjoy the cruise to fjiyords im a clean freak and just wondered if someone could tell me how clean fred olsen ships are 😊
I didn’t have any issues
❤
👻
hi I can get this ship from Liverpool easily but don't fancy this ship for some reason.
What a shame! Was one of our fav ships on a long while!
Then don't go on it.
@@global.explorer I won't thanks
Did you see any showsJamie? Just wondering what sort of entertainment is on offer?
We prefer musicians / singers at a bar to be honest. We aren’t ones for shows on ships as a rule unless something unique like Duel on Virgin Voyages or the ice skating shoes on Royal. But there were shows on offer, yes!
The Borealis theatre company are Brilliant.
Can you smoke still on the balcony staterooms??
Unfortunately, yes
@@TravelBlogJamie Thanks!
@@jennicanakis8662 no problem
Also can in sister ship Bolette.
Really do not like the majority of the interior decor, it's awful.
However, as your vlog continued I grew to really like the ship. It felt like a true cruise ship, where some of the more modern ships have lost that feeling.
I completely get how it’s not to everyone’s tastes but it’s a ship that will always hold dear to us after a wonderful time onboard. She is definitely a grower!
Do we have to book a wheelchair
Yes or no?
Yes
What is there to do besides eat & drink? Boring!
I’ve never been bored on a single holiday I’ve ever been on. Like ever.
Did you watch the video? Dope.
@@global.explorer my thoughts
@@global.explorer Dope?? I was interested in the ship and just asked what activities were on board. thanks for the informative reply. what a great travel agency. I'll pass on your kind reply to others.
@@TravelBlogJamie I'm a dope for asking what activities are on board besides eating & drinking?? wow!
