Fred. Olsen to Depart Liverpool for World Cruise

Fred. Olsen’s Bolette will be setting sail on her inaugural world cruise, called the ‘Voyage of Exploration Around the World‘, in January 2025.

Departing from Liverpool on 4 January 2025, passengers will visit a wide range of destinations including Brazil and Chile, the enchanting isles of French Polynesia, Australia, and the diverse landscapes of South Africa. Bolette will also call at many other countries throughout her 110-night voyage. 

Guests will have the chance to visit legendary landmarks such as Australia’s Sydney Opera House, the sacred monolith of Uluru, and the vibrant marine life of the Great Barrier Reef, as well as embarking on a safari to spot the prestigious Big Five in South Africa.

Fred. Olsen is also offering two shorter cruises that are segments of the grand world voyage. Travellers have the option to choose between a 58-night journey exploring South America and the Pacific Islands or an 87-night adventure through South America and Australia.

For those opting for the 58-night voyage to Sydney, the package includes a hotel stay after the cruise, followed by a return flight to London Heathrow.

Clare Ward, Director of Product and Customer Services at Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines, said: “We know how much our guests value being able to explore the world, and what’s better than being able to set sail right from their doorstep?

“Our team are passionate about taking our guests to visit the furthest corners of the globe and experience a variety of unique cultures.

“This world cruise will see Bolette sail through the Magellan Strait taking in Easter Island, idyllic Tahitian islands and iconic Australian cities, before heading on to Africa where guests can seek out wildlife on a safari or visit South Africa’s vineyards.”
