Fred Olsen’s new flagship Bolette departs Southampton for the first time this evening, bound for Antwerp and Amsterdam, marking the start of its inaugural season sailing from the city.
And from now until August 2022 Bolette will offer 26 voyages of four to 19 nights, with future destinations including the Amalfi Coast, Norwegian fjords, European cities and Iceland.
Martin Lister, Head of Destination Experience and Itinerary Planning, said: “Bolette’s inaugural programme from Southampton has been hand-crafted to offer guests aboard some really special opportunities.
“We have timed a number of our cruises to coincide with special events ashore, for example our call into Amsterdam in April will allow guests to enjoy the world-renowned Floriade Expo, and we will visit Monaco in time for the Grand Prix in May. Guests joining us in the Canary Islands in early December will also have the chance to witness the Geminid Meteor Shower.”
Bolette set sail with Fred Olsen for the first time in August following an extensive refurbishment project. The ship carries 1,338-guests at full capacity.
