Hand-crafted highlights
Witness the mountainous landscapes of the Norwegian Fjords as Bolette glides along the serene Romsdalsfjord and picturesque Nordfjord.

Immerse yourself in Norwegian culture by embracing outdoor living and connecting with nature. There will be chances to hike amongst scenic landscapes and kayak on the tranquil fjords. Experience the innovative methods of travelling around the fjordland, from Nordfjord’s Loen Skylift to the Fløyen Funicular in Bergen.

Mountainous Fjord Landscapes
Your cruise aboard Bolette will take you deep into the fjords of Norway to witness remarkable mountainous landscapes, as you glide along serene waterways, interspersed with thundering waterfalls at their most powerful. You will experience cruising along the breathtaking Romsdalsfjord, fringed with lush valleys and charming fjord-side villages en route to Olden, from where it is possible to visit the majestic Kleivafossen waterfall as it cascades down the cliff face; and the Briksdal Glacier, where you can see the ice from across a glacial lake. Steindal waterfall is equally impressive, and offers the chance to walk behind it without getting wet. Scenic cruising of Nordfjord presents the opportunity to see Europe's highest sea cliff, Hornelen.
Friluftsliv
Take the opportunity to experience the Norwegian cultural concept of embracing outdoor living for connecting with nature and well-being, by joining us on tours to experience outdoor life, including hiking or kayaking amongst remarkable fjordland scenery, or turning your hand to fishing amongst outstanding surroundings. Experience Briksdal Glacier with a local expert, a graduate in geomorphology, who has worked at the site and will show you this famous glacier arm at it's very best; or enjoy a hike from Bergen to a local farm to discover more about traditional farming life in Norway.

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.
