About the trip

This long voyage with Fred. Olsen’s Borealis sets off from Southampton before heading south to Lisbon and Madeira’s Funchal, then crosses the Atlantic to the Caribbean. There’s time to stroll Bridgetown’s colonial streets and note the Georgian architecture of St George’s in Grenada, before sailing around northern South America and through Panama’s canal.

Across the Pacific, the itinerary includes several Hawaiian ports, where you might find surfers in Kailua-Kona or visit the memorial at Pearl Harbor in Honolulu. The crossing of the International Date Line signals the move into East Asia, arriving in Tokyo during the late plum blossom season, a quiet time before the tourist rush. Later ports include Shimizu, Nagoya and Osaka on Japan’s Pacific coast.

The cruise rounds off with stops in Hong Kong and Ho Chi Minh City’s port of Hiep Phuoc, before finally reaching Singapore. Throughout, Borealis offers the kind of straightforward, unfussy cruising associated with Fred. Olsen — one that favours a relaxed pace over dash and dazzle. It’s a route that attracts travellers willing to leave plenty of time for the distances, with pauses in places where the local detail is less obvious than the length of the crossing.
