Fred Olsen Cruise Lines has unveiled two new shorter sailings as part of its ‘Around the World in 80 Days’ cruise in 2023.
Guests can also look forward to £300 per person to enjoy on board.
Borealis will set sail from Southampton on 23rd February 2023, following as closely as possible in the footsteps of fictional explorer Phileas Fogg in the Jules Verne novel Around the World in Eighty Days.
Those wishing to experience part of the adventure can join one of two shorter cruises that will visit many of the wonders included within the 80-day voyage.
Borealis will cruise the world-famous Suez Canal on a 26-night journey from Southampton to Singapore.
Guests can explore the temples of Luxor and Karnak in the Egyptian port of Safaga, visit the secret bazaars, hidden temples and the lesser known Elephanta Caves in bustling Mumbai.
In Singapore, witness the indigenous wildlife and the UNESCO-listed World Heritage Botanic Gardens.
From Singapore, Borealis will depart on a 53-night cruise before calling in Japan in time to witness the cherry blossom in bloom and delve into the Samurai heritage at Fukuoka and Osaka Castle.
Guests can explore the temples, street food and architecture of Hong Kong and enjoy a taste of paradise in Hawaii.
The two new sectors will be available exclusively to members of Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines Oceans loyalty scheme on Wednesday 9th and Thursday 10th November, ahead of general release on Friday 11th November.
Claire Ward, Director of Product and Customer Services at Fred. Olsen Cruise Line’s said:
“Our Around the World in 80 Days cruise has already proven popular, and there are some exceptional opportunities to be had as we follow as closely as possible in the footsteps of fictional explorer Phileas Fogg.
“These shorter sailings will enable even more of our guests to share these experiences, with every port offering a fascinating insight into history, culture, art, architecture or the chance for spectacular encounters with wildlife.
“Plus, with up to £300 on board spend per person, guests can really make the most of their time with us, whether it’s to take their explorations to the next level with one of our immersive short excursions, or relax in one of our lounges as we enjoy scenic sailing between destinations.”
