Détente et confort à bord du Borealis

Comment

Ma croisière à bord du Borealis a été une expérience fantastique ! Le navire est élégant et accueillant, avec des espaces spacieux et une décoration raffinée qui créent une atmosphère apaisante. J’ai particulièrement apprécié les espaces communs, comme la bibliothèque et le salon panoramique, parfaits pour profiter de moments de tranquillité. Les cabines sont spacieuses et bien entretenues, et le personnel est toujours chaleureux et disponible. Si vous cherchez un navire où vous détendre et vous sentir choyé, le Borealis est le choix idéal!

Mediterranean Cruise

I liked

Comment

We had a good cruise in the Mediterranean onboard the beautiful Borealis. Boarding and leaving the ship were easy. We found a fantastic hospitality, wonderful ship and brilliant crew. The food at the restaurant was very good also the service, with many choices for food and always the highest quality. Ship was really clean and attention was paid to details. I definitely recommend Fred Olsen cruises.
