Your cruise at a glance
Hand-crafted highlights
Our journey planners have meticulously planned your Bolette cruise from Liverpool to discover the rugged landscapes of South America, Australia, and the vast plains of Africa. You'll be able to witness some of the world's most breathtaking panoramas, as well as iconic destinations like Sydney Harbour and the Opera House, Easter Island, renowned for its enigmatic Moai statues carved from volcanic rock, and lesser-known jewels like Robinson Crusoe Island, home to the marooned Scottish explorer Alexander Selkirk. In South America, experience the samba rhythm of Rio de Janeiro or witness the fierce and passionate Argentine tango in Buenos Aires, while in Australia, you'll have the chance to uncover its unique Aboriginal culture and learn more about traditions, identity, and legacy.
Your time spent on board Bolette is 87 nights, but please allow for your return flight from Cape Town to the UK.
Highlights
Discover rugged landscapes and vast plains
Reputed to be one of the most challenging routes to sail in the world due to its narrowness, the Magellan Strait, named after the Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan and flanked by the rugged mountains of southern Chile, is sure to be an exhilarating experience. As Bolette navigates her route through the glacial landscapes of the Chilean Fjords, from her decks, you'll be able to marvel at the rugged terrain, surrounded by spectacular blue-tinged glaciers, snow-capped mountain peaks, frozen waterfalls, and deep inlets at every turn. Contrasting sharply with these icy surroundings, the vast plains of Africa offer opportunities to go in search of the Big Five or be amazed by the Namib desert, the oldest in the world.
Experience the Australian way of life
Your cruise aboard Bolette will take you on an unforgettable journey across the world, where you'll have the opportunity to discover a diverse range of cultures. Australia has a multicultural society with a deeply historical Aboriginal heritage, whose knowledge, values, and belief systems are passed down to future generations, through music, dance, painting, and storytelling. Meanwhile, Australians are known for their love of the outdoors, and many daily activities are spent at the beach, playing sports, hiking, or exploring national parks and nature reserves. Cafe culture is also popular here, so enjoy relaxing over brunch or discovering thriving arts and culture scenes.

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.
