Borealis is a Rotterdam-class cruise ship originally built for Holland America Line in 1997. In 2020 the Fred. Olsen Cruise Line purchased the vessel, renaming it Borealis. In 2021 Borealis was refurbished. It mostly sails on Nordic scenic-cruise itineraries.

Borealis has a surprisingly varied number of bars and nightlife options. What’s more, they are all enjoyable.
