Creator's Key Takeaways

The crew are exceptional on this ship. One of the best crews I have ever sailed with.

Seriously, some of the best food I've ever had at sea.

This itinerary far exceeded my expectations.

Sailing on a ship of this size with this many passengers is a great reminder that you don't have to line up for dinner.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book specialty dining in advance for £15 per person instead of £20 on board.
Consider a tuk tuk tour in Lisbon for a great way to see the city.
Use express walkoff for fastest disembarkation if you can carry your own luggage.

YouTube Video Description

The last vlog in this Fred Olsen series! We cruised from Dover, UK, to the Azores, spent 3 amazing days exploring, enjoyed a day on the island of Madeira and now it's time for the final days of our 13 night voyage on Fred Olsen Borealis. In this episode join me on a sea day as we continue to explore activities / classes on board and, as usual, I'll show you more of the entertainment on board and all meals reviewed. Next up, a full day in Lisbon, Portugal, where we head off in a fabulous tuk tuk tour before taking a famous tram through the city and then a walk along the river, into the centre and a spot of lunch. Then, 2 packed sea days (who knew I’d end up being a mixologist?) before arriving back into Dover, UK, and the disembarkation process. All this and a whole lot more!
