We’ve not cruised yet, preferring to make independent journeys and not liking crowds. Your video presents the kind of experience that would persuade us to try it though: no bright lights, no ultra-modern decor, no noisy crowds, no tacky entertainments it seems. We would appreciate an opportunity to fully relax at sea, without background ‘Muzak’, whilst having the opportunity to learn more about the places we’re seeing and the food we’d be eating on board. Thank you for an excellent, insight into our kind of cruise experience, you may have converted us!
I've never been on a cruise, but this year have taken a leap into the unknown and booked a 27 night (all or nothing, me) cruise on the Bollette. Not keen on crowds, noise, parties or noisy entertainments and I'm a very solitary person by nature and normally I travel alone. My customary holidays involve being on mountains, so this will be a huge change. After watching your video I feel reassured that Fred Olsen is a good choice for me. Looking forward to it even more now.
That sounds amazing! I hope you have a fantastic time! Yes they're really good at not being too over the top but also offering good service from friendly staff 🚢
My partner and I have recently booked a cruise on this vessel in June 2025 ('Whistlestop Norway') - your presentation of the ship (and the Fred Olsen line) has greatly encouraged me that we have made the right choice - thank you! 😎
Its is beautiful we are on her in july with friends who have never been on fred olsen 🎉
Woohooo! Hope you enjoy
I do love both Bolette and Borealis. They are such good ships for the northern lights cruises that I tend to do. Great tips! 🙌
Thank you so much!
I'm hoping I can do a northern lights trip one day soon!

I think Fred Olsen would be a great fit for you ⚓️

Oh that's so exciting!
I'm glad you found it useful 😊
It looks like a very homely ship. No wonder you didn't want to get off! I wish she came to Perth.
It really was!
She does dock in Freemantle during her world cruise :)
Hi matthew what was the dessert in the dessert glass?
Hey there - I belive it was cranachan
Disappointing that Holland America is getting rid of their smaller ships…now they are going for larger vessels
It is a shame but Fred Olsen have definitely welcomed them into their Fleet!
