About the trip
Setting off from Liverpool, this cruise takes a leisurely four days at sea before the Canaries appear on the horizon. Santa Cruz de La Palma offers a chance to see its volcanic landscape and historic town centre, while Santa Cruz de Tenerife brings a different pace, with its mix of colonial streets and ocean views. Las Palmas, on Gran Canaria, is walkable from the ship and known for its colonial district and beaches.
After Gran Canaria, the ship calls at Puerto del Rosario on Fuerteventura, where the dry, lunar-like landscape contrasts sharply with the winter chill left behind in Britain. New Year’s Eve is spent in Cádiz on Spain’s southern coast, providing an opportunity to stroll along the old city walls and narrow streets steeped in history. On the return leg, Vigo in north-west Spain offers another city with maritime character before the final two days of sailing bring you back to Liverpool.
Fred. Olsen’s Bolette is a ship that encourages a relaxed approach to cruising, with every port close enough to explore on foot. Christmas falls at sea, while New Year’s Eve is firmly on shore, marking a dividing line between two quite different parts of the voyage.
