Fred Olsen Cruise Lines reveals ex-Southampton world cruise for 2027

Fred Olsen Cruise Lines has unveiled a 98-night world cruise sailing in 2027 on board Borealis.

The voyage will leave Southampton on January 21, 2027 and visit the Caribbean, Colombia, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Hawaii, Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Thailand, Mauritius, South Africa, Cape Verde and Spain.

Borealis will also transit the Panama Canal and have extended a four-day stay in Hawaii and stops in five ports in Japan.

Prices start from £11,499 per person with Fred Olsen’s new inclusive pricing.

Those who book by May 7, 2025 will also benefit from the line’s Freedom Far Price Promise.

Martin Lister, Fred Olsen Cruise Lines head of product innovation, said: “This is a truly special voyage of discovery and one that we have had great fun in curating, designed especially to showcase iconic landmarks, diverse cultures and natural wonders across some world-renowned cities and wonderful hidden gems.

“An undoubted highlight will be the extended call into Japan, at a time of year when there will be fewer crowds and the chance to witness the beauty of the late plum blossom season.

“With five ports of call, guests can explore many ancient castles and temples, take in breathtaking views of Mount Fuji, ride the bullet train in Osaka and join us for a maiden call into Shimizu.

“Later, a four-day call to Hawaii will allow ample time to explore the archipelago’s volcanic landscapes, pristine beaches and lush rainforests, embrace the spirit of Aloha at a traditional Luau and sample delicious local cuisine.”
