Departing from Southampton Cruise Terminal
White Star Way, Southampton, Hampshire, SO14 3GG
A world of discovery, wonder and starlit skies. This extraordinary world cruise aboard Borealis is an epic voyage of discovery, showcasing iconic landmarks, diverse cultures, and natural wonders — from renowned cities to hidden gems. Timed for fewer crowds and the chance to witness the beauty of late plum blossom season in Ume, your journey through Japan allows you to explore ancient castles and temples, marvel at Mount Fuji, ride the bullet train in Osaka, and enjoy a maiden call into Shimizu. Immerse yourself in rich traditions, from tasting sake and sushi to meeting Geisha and experiencing an authentic tea ceremony.
Another unforgettable highlight is four days in Hawaii, where volcanic landscapes, pristine beaches, and lush rainforests await. Embrace the spirit of Aloha at a traditional luau, enjoying hula, music, and local cuisine. Throughout the voyage, once-in-a-lifetime moments abound: whale watching in the Caribbean, Mexico, and Hawaii; Hong Kong’s skyline illuminated by the Symphony of Lights; visits to Pearl Harbor; Singapore’s futuristic Gardens by the Bay; and South Africa’s dramatic landscapes, where you can seek out the ‘Big Five’ against the backdrop of Table Mountain. Borealis will also transit the legendary Panama Canal, connecting the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans in a feat of engineering wonder.
At selected legs of the cruise, astronomers from Go Stargazing will be on board, guiding guests through the night skies and sharing the constellations, stories, and celestial traditions of the regions you visit. From Japanese star lore to Polynesian navigation and African sky myths, these expert-led stargazing sessions will enrich your evenings at sea, adding a unique cosmic perspective to your world-spanning adventure.
