About the trip

Fred. Olsen’s Bolette sets out from Newcastle for nine nights among Norway’s fjordland, a chance to watch glaciers, waterfalls and steep-sided valleys from a small ship’s deck. The route passes through eight fjords, beginning with the Lysefjord, known for its Pulpit Rock, before calling at Bergen, where wooden wharves recall the old Hanseatic League.

From Eidfjord, the cruise slips into the Hardangerfjord, then Maurangerfjord, close by the cascading Fureberg waterfall. The itinerary ventures into quieter waters, with stops at Skjolden, the innermost point of the Sognefjord, and Vikøyri, which sits near fjords lined with mountain farms. In Olden, glaciers are close enough to see the textures in the ice.

There’s time ashore in Åndalsnes, where you might spot the Rauma Railway or the Trollstigen road threading into the mountains. A day at sea brings a moment to take stock before the ship returns to Newcastle, completing a route that threads a complex landscape not easy to reach by road or rail alone.
