About the trip
This 15-night cruise on Fred. Olsen's Bolette sets off from Southampton, spending three days at sea before reaching Gibraltar. The Rock stands sentinel here, its mix of British military history and Mediterranean atmosphere a reminder of how close Spain and the UK remain. After another day sailing, the ship arrives in the Canaries, calling first at Arrecife on Lanzarote, notable for volcanic landscapes that contrast with the resort façades.
Santa Cruz de Tenerife and Las Palmas, both in the Canaries, follow soon after. Las Palmas hosts a rare sight at sea: a fleet fiesta as Bolette is joined by two sister ships in port. The cruise continues with visits to Santa Cruz de La Palma and Madeira’s capital Funchal, where the island’s lush gardens and fortified wine offer a slower rhythm than the bright sands of earlier stops.
The return journey includes a call at Matosinhos, near Porto, on Portugal’s vastly different Atlantic coast before two final days at sea. The pace suits anyone curious about this part of the world without rushing from one landmark to another.
