From Portsmouth to Casablanca, Marrakesh, Agadir, Tangier, La Coruña, the cruise aboard Borealis proved to be a delightful blend of discovery and relaxation. The ship, elegant and welcoming, offers well-kept public areas and comfortable cabins, featuring understated décor and a consistently tidy atmosphere. In particular, the library and the panoramic lounge became perfect retreats for peaceful, relaxing moments after full days of excursions. The crew was consistently warm and attentive, making you feel at home and catering to every need. The cabins, spacious and well maintained, provide comfort and privacy, even if a few details reveal the ship’s age. Overall, Borealis stands out as an excellent choice for travelers seeking a laid-back cruise that combines the charm of Atlantic-Mediterranean routes with thoughtful service and pleasant surroundings. In conclusion, Borealis confirms itself as a great ship for those who value relaxation, welcoming service, and engaging itineraries.
