Description

Bolette formerly known as Amsterdam joined Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines in 2020. With a classic and elegant style throughout its design and with spacious and comfortable public areas, it can accommodate up to 1338 passengers in its 690 cabins. It can travel at a high speed and allows you to reach destinations faster, creating itineraries that include more visits to ports and places even on shorter cruises.
Bolette offers guests plenty of space to relax in the bars, lounges, theatres and on the open-air decks. The Observatory is where you can enjoy the 'scenic cruise' through the large panoramic windows. The Auditorium hosts cooking demonstrations, specialist enrichment lectures and film evenings. On deck 8, you will find the Lido Bar and the swimming pool. A spa and gym are also available on board.

A journey through nature and refined comfort

Comment

The itinerary of this cruise aboard Bolette begins in England, departing from Liverpool, and travels through spectacular and unspoiled landscapes. What makes the journey even more enjoyable is Bolette itself, a Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines ship that offers plenty of space to relax and enjoy the voyage. What I particularly appreciated was the Observatory – a panoramic lounge with large windows that allow guests to fully experience the “scenic cruising” even on colder days, all while surrounded by comfort. The Auditorium hosted culinary demonstrations, expert lectures, and even movie nights, which added real value to the time spent on board. In conclusion, I truly enjoyed this ship!

Un voyage aux Canaries!

I liked

Comment

L'expérience a été excellente de l'embarquement au débarquement. Bonne nourriture dans tous les restaurants. Excellents divertissements, avec de très bons artistes. L'équipage, les serveurs et le personnel de cabine étaient impeccables. Les réunions sur les destinations étaient également très intéressantes. Le navire est magnifique, la piscine intérieure permet de faire trempette quelle que soit la saison. Il y a également beaucoup d'espace à bord pour se détendre et écouter de la bonne musique.
