Creator's Key Takeaways

The food offered throughout is consistently of a high quality and the service was always fantastic wherever we ate with the staff being so warm and friendly.

I'd really recommend giving some of their specialtity dining options a go. As compared to other cruise lines, they are really good value and offer something a little different.

Fred Ason is by far the best cruise line we've ever come across for dealing with dietary requirements.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book specialty dining in advance for a lower price (£15 per person vs £20 on board).
Leave room for dessert at the poolside cafe, as they have a generous selection.
Consider the premium afternoon tea in the observatory for a sophisticated experience.
Pre-order meals for dietary needs at the terminal before boarding.

YouTube Video Description

ad • Join me as I tell you all about the fantastic dining options onboard Fred Olsen's Borealis! In this video I'll showcase both her included and extra speciality venues onboard. As well as highlight which areas I love, and which areas could be improved. Thank you so much to Fred Olsen for gifting me this incredible cruise, and for giving us the chance to enjoy Borealis' speciality venues too! As this is a gifted trip, you will see a 'paid promotion' flag on this video but that does not mean I've been paid to portray Fred Olsen in a particular way. Instead, you'll get my usual honest opinion about what I loved, and what could be improved. Want to know more about Cruising with Matthew?
