Introducing Bolette
Bolette joined the Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines’ fleet in 2020 and is every bit as stylish as you’d expect from a flagship ship. Designed to create a warm, relaxed atmosphere, it offers spacious public areas and thoughtful touches that make guests feel instantly at home. With room for just 1,338 guests and 690 cabins, Bolette promises a more personal cruising experience that stands apart from the mega-ships.

Bolette Cabins
Bolette’s cabins are as versatile as her itineraries. Whether you’re after a cosy interior spot to collapse into after a busy day or the complete luxury treatment, there’s something for everyone. Topping the range is the Olsen Suite on Bridge Deck 7, stretching over a generous 1,181 square feet. Think king-size bed, separate sitting and dining areas, an oversized bath, and a balcony kitted out with sun loungers for lazy sea-gazing. Suite guests even get the royal treatment with the Suite Dreams package, including priority boarding, sparkling wine on arrival, and canapés delivered daily — because nothing says holiday like snacks you didn’t have to fetch yourself.
The ship also caters to accessibility needs, offering a number of thoughtfully adapted cabins.
Bolette Dining
Fred. Olsen’s Bolette knows that a good meal can elevate any cruise. The main dining rooms, Bloomsbury & Terrace Restaurants, serve up a five-course à la carte menu that changes nightly. Expect everything from succulent seafood to hearty steaks and freshly baked artisan bread, courtesy of the ship’s bakery.
For those craving something different, Bolette features two speciality restaurants. Colours & Tastes invites diners to explore modern Asian Fusion cuisine, with dishes inspired by the flavours of Japan, Thailand, and beyond. Meanwhile, Vasco pays homage to India’s Goan culinary heritage with aromatic curries and sizzling grilled delights, all crafted by expert chefs. Advance reservations are a must for these popular spots.
If you fancy a mid-afternoon caffeine fix, head to the Bookmark Café, where speciality coffees pair perfectly with handmade chocolates and fresh pastries. Whether you’re after a decadent dessert or just a cup of tea, this is the place to be.
Bolette Entertainment
Days and evenings on Bolette are never short of options. The Neptune Lounge is the heart of the ship’s entertainment, featuring live shows, comedy acts, and even the occasional themed party. For something a little more low-key, the Piano Bar offers intimate live performances in a sophisticated setting — think cocktails, music, and candlelit charm.
Creative types can find their muse in The Olsen Art Studio, a dedicated space for art workshops led by talented instructors. And if you’re the curious sort, Fred. Olsen’s signature experiences, like The Ship and the Sea, let you dive into maritime traditions with hands-on navigation lessons and behind-the-scenes tours of the galley, engine control room, and bridge.
