Aquavit is a distinctively flavoured Scandinavian spirit, traditionally made with caraway and dill, and widely enjoyed in Norway with friends. In our latest vlog, we take part in the aquavit experience aboard Fred. Olsen’s Borealis. If you haven’t seen it yet, catch up now - we’ve got a brand-new episode dropping tomorrow at 7pm! Just search Cruise Monkeys on YouTube! We paid Β£30 per person for this experience, which included cocktails and some delicious nibbles. If you’re cruising Norway with Fred. Olsen and this is on offer, we’d highly recommend giving it a go. . . . #fredolsen #175yearsinthemaking #msborealis #cruise #cruiseaddict #cruiselife #northernlights #auroraborealis #norwaycruise #borealis #travel #travelphotography #fredolsenborealis #cruiseholiday #instatravel #cruisetravel #cruiseblog #cruiseship #cruiseline #cruiseshipspotting #cruises #cruisemonkeys
