Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines has announced a remarkable 87-night cruise set to embark in January 2028, offering travellers an opportunity to explore the Amazon and Antarctica. The journey, aboard the 1,360-guest ship Borealis, will commence in Southampton, UK, and traverse 28 destinations across 17 countries, including the Caribbean, Canary Islands, and Cape Horn.

The cruise, available through Cruise Traveller, Fred. Olsen's exclusive Australian representative, promises a unique experience with its smaller, more intimate ships. These vessels are designed to access ports that larger ships cannot, enhancing the exploration of exotic locations. The Borealis will sail 1,500km inland along the Amazon River, allowing guests to witness the vibrant wildlife and traditional villages of Brazil.

Continuing south, the voyage will pass through Rio de Janeiro and Argentina before reaching the Antarctic Peninsula. Here, passengers will spend three days amidst glaciers, penguins, and seals. The return journey includes stops at the Falkland Islands, Buenos Aires, and the Cape Verde Islands, concluding back in Southampton.

Joe O’Sullivan, Managing Director of Cruise Traveller, highlighted the charm of Fred. Olsen's cruises, stating, “Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines’ ships are smaller, more personal and full of charm and character, with space to relax in style so that you can savour the timeless pleasures of sea travel.”

The cruise is priced from $19,500 (£16,099) per person for an Oceanview Cabin, with early bookings recommended due to high demand
