Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines

Sail from Southampton or Dover UK onboard Fred. Olsen’s brand new flagship, Bolette.

We would like to introduce you to Fred. Olsen’s new flagship, Bolette.  With just 647 cabins, she fits perfectly into Fred. Olsen’s fleet of small ships.

Bolette exudes classic, elegant style in her design along with spacious and comfortable public areas offering all the facilities and special touches you need for a relaxing and enjoyable holiday.

Indulge yourself in the five stylish dining venues, enjoy a glass of your favourite tipple and fantastic entertainment at the eleven bars and lounges or while away the hours by the all-season pool.

Fred. Olsen is a family run business who take your experience personally.  The Chairman, Fred Olsen Jnr, is very hands on.  It is his passion and attention to the smallest detail that ensures a wonderful experience, each time you sail with Fred. Olsen.

With friendly staff providing personal, attentive service, there’s an intimate feel to your onboard experience too.

Fred. Olsen has a small team of specialist itinerary planners.  They take great pride in hand-crafting each journey, to ensure they show you hidden gems as well as highlights, on each sailing.

With Fred. Olsen’s quality standards, attention to detail and warm and friendly service, industry research shows Fred. Olsen has the highest percentage of returning guests when compared with other cruise companies.

Fred. Olsen has always believed smaller is better when it comes to the size of ships.  At full capacity the Bolette will only ever sail with a maximum of 1338 guests.

Bolette’s facilities also include two swimming pools (one with retractable roof), two jacuzzis and an impressive Thermal Spa, Aroma Room, Hydro Pool, two saunas and nine treatment rooms.  The onboard Culinary Theatre hosts fantastic cookery classes and demonstrations.

The fine dining experience enjoyed in the elegant restaurants and dining venues is a high point of every cruise. There are deliciously-tempting, expertly prepared dishes, from perfectly cooked breakfasts to sumptuous five course á la carte dinners.

When the lights go down and you settle into your evening, you’ll be treated to a selection of live shows ranging from music and cabaret to quick-fire stand-up comedy, all enjoyed in the space and comfort of stylish lounges and theatres.

There are also plenty of single cabins to ensure guests who travel solo are catered for.
