The UK-based company Fred Olsen Cruise Lines will reintroduce its mystery cruise concept for the first time since 2019.

On November 12th, the Borealis ship will depart Southampton England on an 11-night voyage, with the destinations remaining undisclosed until the ship arrives at each port of call.

During the journey, passengers will have the opportunity to participate in stargazing sessions led by astronomers from Go Stargazing, taking advantage of the low light pollution at sea.

Looking ahead to 2025, Borealis will also operate another mystery cruise departing from Portsmouth in November, while Bolette ship will undertake a 7-night mystery itinerary departing from Liverpool in December. Passengers booking these voyages by October 31st will benefit from a complimentary drinks package.

The 11-night 'Fred. Olsen Mystery Cruise' aboard Borealis begins on November 12 from Southampton, with fares starting at GBP1,199 per person, featuring undisclosed destinations before the ship returns to Portsmouth.

Clare Ward, commercial and product director at Fred. Olsen said they are very excited for the return of their 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 sense of anticipation builds from the moment the guest steps foot on board. They’ll have to wait each day to find out whether the Captain is guiding them north or south, perhaps to somewhere they’ve always wanted to visit or an undiscovered gem.

"While the itinerary is a surprise, guests can be certain that the on board experience will be just as they expect with warm, attentive service, delicious cuisine and quality entertainment."
