About the trip
Fred. Olsen’s Bolette sets off from Liverpool for a nine-night voyage through some of Norway’s better-known natural attractions. Along the way, there’s a chance to see the Briksdal glacier, a tongue of ice spilling from the Jostedalsbreen icefield surrounded by steep, forested slopes. The route includes a stretch of the Atlantic Ocean Road, famous for its bridges arching over short islands and skerries — a rare place where the cruise ship cannot follow the shoreline.
Other fjordland stops offer glimpses of waterfalls that thunder close enough to make conversation over coffee difficult, especially around the narrow waterways lined with Norway spruce. There’s time ashore to stretch legs and, if you’re keen, to try hiking, kayaking or cycling in the open air: friluftsliv is an important part of local life. The cruise board passes along sheltered harbours and between mountains, a welcome change from eating meals under a hot sun or rummaging for deck chairs.
The itinerary loops back to Liverpool, leaving time to reflect on the gradual shift from soaring cliffs to the city’s docks. The ship, familiar yet quietly confident, provides a steady rhythm to the trip, with room to wander, watch the sea or sit with a book as the landscape slides past.
