The cruise aboard the Bolette, which will depart from Southampton in November 2023, has been designed by Fred. Olsen Jnr himself along with his team of travel planners, and visits well-known destinations, from Bombay in India to Victoria in the Seychelles, as well as off-the-beaten-path discoveries such as São Tomé and Zanzibar.
Guests will enjoy plenty of time to explore each destination on land, including overnight stays in Victoria (Seychelles) and Mombasa (Kenya), a two-night stay in Port Louis (Mauritius), and an extended three-night stay in Cape Town (South Africa), where historic sites such as Signal Hill and Robben Island await.
Martin Lister, Head of Itinerary Planning and Destination Experience at Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines, said: “This sailing is a true adventure, and working closely with Mr. Olsen Jr. himself, we have curated this itinerary to allow guests to have real, immersive shore experiences.
There will also be plenty of opportunities to find wildlife in its natural habitat, from searching for the “Big Five” in Kenya and South Africa to spotting endemic species such as the giant tortoise in the Seychelles and lemurs and chameleons in Madagascar.
"It's a cruise that offers countless highlights, and we can't wait to share these experiences with our guests.".
