Set Sail into the Unknown: Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines’ Mystery Cruises Return!

Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines is once again inviting guests to embark on an unforgettable journey of exploration, adventure, and mystery. For the first time since 2019, their iconic Mystery Cruise is back, and this November, the smaller, elegant ship Borealis will whisk guests away on an 11-night voyage, departing from Southampton. The twist? Every port of call will be a secret until the ship arrives, turning this trip into the ultimate guessing game at sea.

The Thrill of Discovery

Clare Ward, Commercial and Product Director at Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines, explains the allure of these mystery voyages:

“We’re very excited for the return of our Mystery Cruises. We know they are always a fantastic experience for our guests, combining the beauty of cruise travel with the added anticipation of surprise, as they venture into the unknown.”

The magic begins the moment passengers step aboard, unsure whether they’ll head north or south, perhaps towards a long-dreamed-of destination or a hidden gem. The surprise at each port amplifies the excitement, as guests share the anticipation of what’s next with fellow travelers.

A Sky Full of Stars and Luxury On Board

In addition to the mystery of each destination, passengers will also have the opportunity to indulge in some celestial exploration. The cruise partners with Go Stargazing, offering guests the chance to view the night sky from the middle of the ocean, free from light pollution. Imagine peering into the vastness of the universe, surrounded by nothing but open sea.

While the destinations remain secret, Fred. Olsen promises that the experience on board will meet their high standards. Expect attentive service, delicious cuisine, and a variety of entertainment options that will leave guests smiling throughout their journey.
