YouTube Video Description

Join us for Episode 9 of our Fred. Olsen Borealis Northern Lights Cruise Series, where we explore the stunning Norwegian town of Ålesund and finally witness the magical Northern Lights! After a relaxing start to the day with a late breakfast at the Poolside Café, we arrive in beautiful Ålesund and hop aboard a charming land train excursion to the famous Fjellstua viewpoint. With incredible panoramic views, this is one of the most scenic ports of call on our cruise so far. Back on board Borealis, we enjoy some of the delicious food at The View Restaurant, unwind in the hot tubs, and soak up the last of the sun in the tropical-style View Bar. Later that night, we get our first magical glimpse of the Aurora Borealis—a truly unforgettable experience that makes this episode extra special! 🚢 Highlights in this vlog: Arrival in Ålesund, Norway Riding the fun land train excursion Spectacular views from Fjellstua viewpoint Food, fun, and relaxation on board Fred.
