Creator's Key Takeaways
I've got to say the food was absolutely delicious.
The poolside grill quickly became one of our favorites as the food here was so good.
It was really amazing. You can see all the ice and the snow is fantastic. Just loving this.
If you're doing this itinerary, we'd highly recommend giving it a try.

Join us aboard Fred. Olsen's Borealis as we sail further north on our Northern Lights Cruise — and cross the Arctic Circle in truly unforgettable fashion! In Episode 4, our day begins with a port talk, followed by a mouth-watering Kitchen Creations demonstration in the auditorium. We then enjoy a delicious lunch at the Poolside Grill, one of our favourite spots on the ship. As we head out on deck, the Arctic scenery is moody and atmospheric — just in time for the Arctic Circle Ceremony! Expect pirates, mutiny, and icy chaos as the ship’s officers are put on trial and hilariously punished with freezing water (all in good fun, of course). Yes, there’s even a chance to kiss the fish... Later, we wind down with a relaxing glass of wine at the bar before heading to a Scandinavian Aquavit tasting experience (£30pp), complete with bold cocktails, canapés, and a chance to mix our own drinks. Trust us — Aquavit definitely isn't for the faint-hearted! We also try Colours and Tastes, Fred. Olsen’s Asian fusion restaurant (£15pp when pre-booked), and even catch a show in the lounge — something we don’t normally do, but we’re glad we did! 💬 Don’t forget to subscribe and hit the bell for Episode 5, where we: Sail into Narvik at dawn Take a cable car to a snowy mountain viewpoint Get stuck mid-air (!) — and nearly miss the ship!
