About the trip
Setting off from Southampton, this 98-night cruise on Fred. Olsen’s Borealis crosses the Atlantic to Madeira and Barbados before cutting through Central America via the Panama Canal. From there, the ship sails across the Pacific to spend four days in Hawaii, where Pearl Harbor and the familiar beaches of Oahu await.
Next comes Japan, with visits to Tokyo, Shimizu and Osaka, cities offering temples and Geisha performances, before turning south to Hong Kong, Vietnam and Thailand. The route continues through Mauritius and South Africa, including a stop at St Helena, one of the world’s most remote inhabited islands.
The final stretch hugs the Atlantic islands again, calling at Cape Verde and the Canaries before a return to Southampton. The days at sea between ports offer chances to watch the horizon change slowly — a reminder of the expedition’s considerable scale and pace.
