About the trip
This eight-night cruise with Fred. Olsen sets off from Newcastle, taking a day at sea before calling at the Lysefjord in Norway, where steep cliffs rise close enough to see the fissures and waterfalls. The ship then passes through the Oslofjord before spending time in the Norwegian capital, known for its sleek Opera House and lively waterfront.
Aalborg in Denmark offers a quieter port town with a mix of old warehouses and modern cafés, followed by Lysekil on Sweden’s west coast, a small town surrounded by granite outcrops and fishing piers. The cruise ends with a day in Copenhagen, where the Renaissance Rosenborg Castle stands among the parks, and Tivoli Gardens provides a reminder that Danish delights include more than just pastries.
Bolette is compact enough to handle these varied calls without the feel of a large liner. This route combines time at sea with short hops between cities, allowing some room to appreciate distinctive local atmospheres without the rush of back-to-back tourism.
