Creator's Key Takeaways

We're here on a Fred Olsson Borealis Christmas and New Year cruise and today we took a tour to three of the islands viewpoints overlooking the city of Vanchcha.

Our tour today was Viewpoints of Fchow and booked through Fred Olsson cost what we felt was a pretty reasonable Β£59 per person and lasted 3 and 1/2 hours.

Definitely ranking in our top three of cruise pizzas.

The pantomime was Cinderella done in classic pento fashion with some great fine performances.
