Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines’ Bolette sets off from Newcastle for a nine-night circumnavigation of some lesser-travelled British seaboards. There’s a moment to look up at the Old Man of Hoy, a solitary sea stack rising sharply above Orkney’s waters, offering a reminder that these islands bear out their rugged reputations.
Journeys

The itinerary moves south to the Jurassic Coast, with its cliffs of fossilised history, before skirting the Scilly Isles, where gardens and wild flowers catch the eye. Guernsey follows, with its blend of English and Norman heritage, where cycling along coastal paths is straightforward and refreshing.
Traditional Gaelic music plays a part in evenings ashore or aboard, reminding you the cruise is not just about views but local character. The trip returns to Newcastle, where it began, having traced a route that combines time at sea with plenty of shoreside variety. The pace is steady, nobody rushing, and the vessel modest enough for close coastal passages rather than big ocean crossings.
