About the trip
Fred. Olsen’s Bolette sets out from Newcastle for seven days exploring some of Norway’s longest and more varied fjords. After a day at sea, the ship calls at Eidfjord, where the Furebergsfossen waterfall is a few steps from the harbour. Between ports, there’s plenty of scenic cruising through the Hardangerfjord, Maurangerfjord and beyond.
Skjolden and Olden come next, gateways to mountain trails and glaciers. In Olden, a cable car called the Loen Skylift climbs sharply above the fjord, offering views that a friend once likened to the Norwegian landscape on steroids. Further west, Bergen’s waterfront provides a reminder of the Hanseatic League’s trade legacy and enough history for an afternoon stroll along wooden wharfs.
The journey returns via more fjord cruising, including the Sognefjord, the country’s longest fjord, and ends back in Newcastle. The ship is compact enough to handle narrow waterways, allowing close approaches to waterfalls and cliffs that larger vessels must keep their distance from. It’s a steady-moving holiday with time to watch landscapes shift slowly outside the windows.
