With Borealis taking you away from well-trodden tourist routes, you’ll get to encounter the wild, untamed landscapes and wonders of remote regions in Greenland and Iceland. On your Greenlandic adventure, special diversions into Prins Christiansund – rated Fred. Olsen guests’ best scenic cruising experience – are made, to witness its soaring mountains and glistening glaciers, and a rare visit to Narsarsuaq is a certain highlight. From here, you can take a boat tour of Qooroq ice fjord and see icebergs up-close hear their echoing creaks and roars and breathe in the fjord’s cool, fresh air. Enjoy an evening of scenic cruising through Tunugdlliarfik Fjord’s unspolit landscapes too, and enjoy a taste of authentic culture and Norse history at Nanortalik. In Iceland, a visit to Akureyri is a chance to tour to the the Godadoss ‘Waterfall of the Gods’ and tranquil Lake Mývatn. For an experience of a lifetime, join a boat tour seeking out humpback and minke whales, dolphins and porpoises by boat living freely in the surrounding waters. Wild wonders also await you from Reykjavik; the capital is your gateway to the Golden Circle where you can marvel at the natural power of the Gullfoss Waterfall and gushing Geysir hot springs. You’ll get to savour scenes of towering mountains and colourful houses at Seyðisfjörður too, while journeys into Eyjafjörður, past pretty Hrísey and by Borgarfjordur Eystri – home to a large population of elves, according to local folklore – will make for unforgettable scenic cruising experiences.
