Fred Olsen Cruise Lines has unveiled three new shorter cruises on board Bolette as part of her maiden 106-night world voyage in January 2025.
From Southampton on 6th January, guests can embark on a 56-night ‘Exploring South America and the Pacific Islands’.
They will be able to see some of the world’s most breathtaking panorama including the differing landscapes of Chile, culture and wildlife, witness the Moai statues on Easter Island and discover lesser-known gems like Robinson Crusoe Island.
On 3rd March, Bolette will depart on a 29-night ‘Australian and South African Discovery’ cruise from Sydney.
Guests will enjoy chances to encounter fascinating nature and wildlife and explore iconic sites such as the Opera House, Uluru and the Great Barrier Reef in Australia before exploring Reunion Island and search for the Big Five in South Africa.
Alternatively, the 21-night ‘Scenic Vistas and Diverse Cultures of Africa’ cruise, leaving Cape Town on 1st April, will see guests explore the vast landscapes of the Namib Desert and experience the remoteness of the subtropical island of Jamestown, St Helena.
Martin Lister, Head of Itinerary Product Development at Fred Olsen Cruise Lines, said:
“Our 2025 World Cruise has already proven popular, and there are some incredible opportunities to be had as Bolette sails to gems across the globe.
“These shorter sailings will enable even more of our guests to share these experiences, with every port offering an incredible insight into culture, history, art or the chance to seek out native wildlife such as the Magellanic Penguins in Chile, quokkas in Australia and the Big Five in South Africa.
“Guests will be able to make the most of their time with us, whether it’s to explore ports of call further with our immersive shore tours or to relax on board as our smaller-sized ship enjoys scenic sailings between destinations.”
The cruise to Sydney includes a post-cruise hotel stay before flying back to London Heathrow, while the cruise from Sydney to South Africa includes a pre-cruise hotel stay.
