Make the festive season one to remember, one enjoyed without all the usual stress and strain, on an escape to the warmer, sunnier climes of the Canaries. Experience the special Fred. Olsen festivities from the moment you embark Borealis, with four days at sea to settle in, indulge and revel in all the excitement as you sail south. On Christmas Day, wake up knowing you won’t have to worry about a thing; your ship’s attentive staff will take care of everything as you enjoy the day’s fun, food and festivities. Boxing Day will be spent as sea too, perfect for a day of recovering from your Christmas indulgences; perhaps relax out on deck with the sea breeze on your skin, or in one of your ship’s comfortable lounges with your favourite drink in hand.

After a magical Christmas, you’re in for four consecutive days of Canarian highlights as the year draws to a close. The lunar-like landscapes and volcanoes of Lanzarote are yours to explore, with Arrecife serving as your gateway to Timanfaya National Park and mighty Fire Mountains, and spectacular beaches await at Gran Canaria, home of the oasis-like sands of Maspalomas. At Tenerife, the Canaries’ most famous volcanic site awaits too; you’ve ample time to take in Mount Teide on tour from Santa Cruz. You’ve opportunities to explore verdant forests and seek out volcanic wonders aplenty on La Gomera too. After the Canaries, it’s on to Madeira for a fabulous New Year’s Eve. Take the day to explore the unique levada walking trails; opt to visit the Cabo Girão sea cliff for unspoilt Atlantic Ocean views; or join a local orchid specialist to find out more about the Garden Island’s famous floral blooms. By evening, it’s back on board Borealis for another unique celebration, culminating with a chance to witness one of the world’s largest New Year’s firework displays at midnight.
