Fred Olsen Bolette review 2024

Very surprised to see myself on your video. Our first experience of a cruise, which enjoyed and found very relaxing.

Although we loved Bolette unlike you, we did find it rather hectic, people were running from the theatre in time for the quiz as it was hard to get a seat. Even sea days , no time to sit and read with all they had to offer, so much to do and people were rushing to do it...Maybe as only 4 nights they wanted to fit everything in.

I've never yet been on a cruise. I find the big, modern ships utterly off-putting. But I have booked this year to sail with Fred Olsen on Bollette, a 27 night cruise to Canada, Greenland and Iceland. I'm travelling alone, as usual, so I m hoping that the experience will be a good one. I have heard excellent reviews of Fred Olsen cruises, and it seems like a good fit for me. Looking forward to it!

This is how a review should be, clear detail, and unbiased opinion, well done. Unlike the many couples trying to be entertainers…..and failing miserably. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK 👍👍

Thanks for your very informative review. Bollette strikes me as my kind of ship and perhaps quite similar to the Ambassador Cruise Line ships.

Glad you had a positive experience of Bolette.
Having sailed happily on Balmoral and Borealis, we have a great affection and admiration for Olsen as a cruise line, and Bolette is bound to be calling us to here decks sometime soon.

I cant wait to experience xx bolette in oct

I took my 24 year old grand daughter to Iceland recently, she absolutely loved the ship and what it had to offer, she did the singing for fun, Karaoke, she even learnt ballroom and latin american dancing which she really enjoyed, we had dance teachers Tom and Denise, and 2 dance hosts David and Martyn they were all brilliant helped people of all abilities to learn to dance plus they were available in the evening to partner and assist with support for the dances so you could be Solo and still have the chance to dance, there were arts and crafts, you could take knitting, crochet or needle craft and there was a knit and natter session every day, going up to iceland norway and other northern areas, ORCA were on board to help you to spot whales, dolphins and porpoises for example weather permitting you are allowed on the bow of the ship which is great for the fjords, all the food was great on board the dining room, the buffet, afternoon tea, pool area, as we were crossing the arctic circle we had the initiation ceremony which was ice cold water, complete with icecubes down your back and a blue painted nose, captain started the proceedings followed by staff captain, hotel services manager and entertainment manager, four cadets who were on board were next followed by passengers who wanted to take part, which a lot did including my grandaughter, the shows were really good in the theatre plus a freddie mercury tribute who was amazing, i wouldnt describe it as an older persons ship as you could do as much or as little as you wanted would really recommend it, my grandaughter wants to go again next year
