Discover the solar eclipse at sea
On Wednesday, 12th August 2026, Bolette will be perfectly placed just off the west coast of Iceland, so that you can experience the awe-inspiring phenomenon of a total solar eclipse. The moon will cover the sun for an extended period of totality here, and due to Bolette’s position within the ocean, you will be able to experience this unforgettable occurrence using specially provided glasses that will enable you to look at the sun. You will also be joined on board by experts from Go Stargazing, who will share their insights and advice about this spectacular and unique event.

The handy checklist below has been created to assist in making sure you remember all the important things to pack for your cruise.
Visa and health requirements can change at any time. It is your own responsibility to ensure that you check with a professionally qualified source and comply with such requirements. UK passport holders will need visas for certain Fred. Olsen cruise holidays and will be advised at the time of booking. Your cruise booking information will also detail any requirements applicable to your holiday.
On certain sailings we offer two types of cruise fares; Freedom and Saver Fares.
Our single guests feel right at home on board our ships; Fred. Olsen have the reputation of sailing the friendliest fleet afloat.
Disembarking when your ship's at anchor is a very different experience to when it's docked portside. Getting ashore in this instance often involves the use of the ship's tender, which is accessed via the steps of a secure gangway.
