The cruise at a glance

The Olsen Way Highlights

150 years after the publication of the famous book 'Around the World in 80 Days', join us as we set out to repeat the feat. Our itinerary planners have timed this epic journey so that we reach Japan just as the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, while our visit to Egypt coincides with the 100th anniversary of the opening of the tomb of Tutankhamun. Feel the buzz of Mumbai, perhaps while sampling the busy daily life of local Dabbawalas. There is also a chance to visit the iconic Taj Mahal. Impressive cityscapes await in Singapore, Hong Kong and Tokyo. In Japan, you can also experience a traditional tea ceremony, be entertained by Geishas and delve into Samurai heritage.

Osaka castle with Cherry Blossom, Japan

Discover Japan in Cherry Blossom season

 

Your voyage has been timed perfectly to coincide with the seasonal Cherry Blossom in bloom. The Cherry Blossom tree, known as 'Sakura', is one of Japan's most iconic symbols, and is often regarded as the unofficial national flower.

Hawaii Volcanoes national park

Hawaii Volcanoes National Park

 

Experience some of nature’s most awe-inspiring wonders at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. Located 45 miles southwest of Hilo, the park is home to two volcanoes including Kilauea, one of the most active volcanoes on earth. The chance to witness the primal process of creation and destruction makes it one of the most popular visitor attractions in Hawaii and a sacred place. The extraordinary natural diversity of the park was recognized in 1980 when it was named a World Biosphere Site by UNESCO and in 1987 when the park was honored as a World Heritage Site.

Balmoral Deck

The Kings' Coronation

 

Join us on board Borealis as we celebrate the coronation of King Charles III. You'll be able to watch the ceremony on board, and take part in special activities we have arranged for this special occasion. We'll have a street fayre and deck party, with a commemorative cake and cocktail created for the event; British Night with our Show Team, and a delicious British Night Menu. We'll also have a knowledgeable Guest Speaker on board, who will talok about this significant Royal event.
