Heading the list of highlights from Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines' new Summer 2026 itineraries are three very special sailings timed for August's total eclipse of the Sun. Balmoral and Bolette will head to explore Iceland, which will provide the most dramatic experience at this time of year with its whales, waterfalls and geysers, plus it's the place where the sun will cover the moon for the longest period, offering extended totality. Meanwhile Borealis will discover the old towns and promenades of Spain, where the path of totality will provide a full eclipse before the sun sets.

AN ADVENTURE OF A LIFETIME.

This extraordinary world cruise is an epic voyage of discovery, designed from scratch by Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines' expert Journey Planners to showcase an incredible array of iconic landmarks, diverse cultures and natural wonders in a mix of renowned cities and hidden gems.

Timed for fewer crowds and the chance to witness the beauty of late plum blossom season (Ume), your journey through Japan allows you to explore ancient castles and temples, take in breathtaking views of Mount Fuji, ride the bullet train in Osaka and enjoy our maiden call into Shimizu. There'll also be chances to 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 you'll have ample time to explore volcanic landscapes, pristine beaches and lush rainforests. Here, you can embrace the spirit of Aloha at a traditional Luau, enjoying hula, music and local cuisine.
