One of the workhorses of the cruise liner schedule is in Liverpool today (Monday).
The Fred Olsen liner Borealis is a familiar sight at the Pier Head cruise terminal and is here on an almost fortnightly basis. Today it is setting sail on a 14-day tour of the vistas and volcanoes of Azores and Madeira in the Atlantic ocean, arriving back in Liverpool on July 11.
The Borealis holds 1,360 passengers, with 702 cabins and 662 crew members. There are six restaurants, eight bar and lounges and numerous luxury facilities including a swimming pool, two Jacuzzis, a spa, hairdressers, fitness centre, demonstration theatre and library.
