Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines has partnered with the astronomical organization Go Stargazing for a series of cruises that will set sail next year.
Astronomers will join a selection of 26 cruises aboard Bolette, Borealis and Balmoral to destinations including Norway, Iceland, the Azores and the Canary Islands throughout 2024, encouraging guests to look up at the night skies.
Stargazing experts will spend time on deck helping guests navigate the dark skies with laser-guided tours of the constellations, observing fascinating celestial objects from the craters of the Moon to distant galaxies and experiencing phenomena such as meteor showers and the Northern Lights.
James Moss, Travel Experiences Coordinator at Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines, said: “We know our guests love sitting on the open deck, gazing at the beauty of the night sky. Now, thanks to our partnership with Go Stargazing, we will be able to offer 26 incredible itineraries where an astronomer will join our guests on board and bring the darkness to life. The itineraries include the Natural Wonders and Wildlife of the Azores and Madeira in April and In Search of the Northern Lights at Christmas in December.”.
In addition, the Go Stargazing team will give several presentations and answer questions about everything related to astronomy.
The new partnership is linked to Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines' "Sky at Sea," which celebrates a sunrise at sea or the beauty of the night sky from the ship's deck.
