Fred Olsen's flagship Bolette is everything that its loyal guests have come to expect from a Fred. Olsen ship. Proudly bearing the name of Fred. Olsen Jr.’s great-great-grandmother, as many other Olsen vessels have over the years, she exudes classic, elegant style in her exterior and interior design, features spacious and comfortable public areas, and has all the facilities and special touches you need for a relaxing and enjoyable holiday.
The ship has the capacity to hold 1,338 passengers and a crew of 615. There are 690 total cabins on the vessel. Featured activities on Borealis include a swimming pool, two jacuzzis, a fitness center, spa, floral shop, golf nets, gaming tables, card room and a library.
You will find 6 restaurants and 11 bars and lounges on Bolette.
The elegant restaurants and dining venues on board our ships are a high point of every Fred Olsen cruise. There are six restaurants onboard. There are expertly prepared dishes, from perfectly cooked breakfasts to sumptuous five course á la carte dinners, on offer throughout the day, presented with the personal touch of Fred. Olsen's famously attentive service.
There's an undoubted sense of occasion to dining in Bolette's lower level Bloomsbury Restaurant and upper level, The Terrace - a two-tiered venue featuring classical, elegant décor and a variety of seating options and table sizes, perfect for both intimate and large group dining, Guests can choose to dine in one of the smaller speciality dining venues too, or perhaps at the more relaxed buffet restaurant.
The dress code in all restaurants is casual during the day, while the evenings are usually smart-casual, apart from on our fantastic Formal Nights.
On a cruise holiday, we know that your on board experience is just as important to you as the time you spend ashore. That's why we are dedicated to ensuring our entertainment programme is packed with activities and memorable performances that help to create inspirational days and unforgettable nights.
You'll find that there's plenty to keep you entertained during the day on board Bolette, whether you prefer to while away the hours relaxing or engaging your body and mind. The ship's facilities include two swimming pools, two jacuzzis and an impressive spa with a Thermal Spa, Aroma Room, Hydro Pool, two saunas and nine treatment rooms, while there are sports courts and an Auditorium – which hosts fantastic cookery classes and demonstrations – too.
When the lights go down and you settle into your evening, we'll treat you to a selection of live shows ranging from music and cabaret to quick-fire stand-up comedy, all enjoyed in the space and comfort of our stylish lounges and theatres. And, of course, throughout the ship you can sit, relax and enjoy a glass of your favourite tipple accompanied by the gentle sounds of live acoustic music. There are 11 bars & lounges.1338
