98 Nights. 17 Countries. One Unforgettable 2027.

There is a profound difference between a simple holiday and a voyage that redefines your world. At Ocean World Travel, we believe the 2027 Fred. Olsen World Cruise on Borealis is the definitive travel experience of a lifetime.

This magnificent odyssey is an epic voyage of discovery, meticulously designed to showcase iconic landmarks, vibrant cultures, and the world’s most breathtaking natural wonders. By choosing the elegant Borealis, you aren’t just visiting 27 world-class ports across 17 different countries—you are immersing yourself in the very heart of each destination.

From the legendary transit of the Panama Canal to the neon-lit horizon of Hong Kong and the rugged, untamed majesty of South Africa, this 98-night masterpiece is curated for those who seek the extraordinary.

Why Borealis is Your Perfect Home-at-Sea

As independent Fred. Olsen specialists, we know that on a voyage of this scale, the ship is your sanctuary. Borealis is the “Explorer’s Companion”—built for speed, stability, and access. While mega-ships are forced to dock in distant industrial hubs, Borealis glides into the heart of the action.

With a beautifully intimate atmosphere and a crew that takes pride in knowing your personal preferences, a 98-night journey feels less like a trip and more like a community. It is the refined, British way to see the world: unhurried, sophisticated, and entirely unforgettable.

Itinerary Highlights: The OWT Specialist Perspective

What makes the S2702 “Around the World” cruise truly peerless? We’ve pinpointed the moments that will stay with you forever:

• The Atlantic & Caribbean Prelude: Begin your journey in the grand European capitals of Lisbon and Madeira before surrendering to the turquoise waters of Barbados and Grenada and the colonial history of Cartagena de Indias.
• The Engineering Marvel: Stand on deck for a front-row seat as Borealis transits the legendary Panama Canal, a bucket-list feat of engineering linking two mighty oceans.
• Extended Hawaii Exploration: Enjoy four full days across the Hawaiian archipelago, including Maui, Hilo, Oahu (Honolulu), and Kauai. From volcanic moonscapes to lush rainforests, this is the ultimate Pacific escape.
• Japan in Bloom: With overnight stays in Tokyo and Kobe (Osaka), plus calls at Nagoya and a maiden call to Shimizu, you will witness the ethereal beauty of the late plum blossom season (Ume) and stunning views of Mount Fuji.
