About the trip
This winter cruise with Fred. Olsen’s Bolette begins in Liverpool before crossing the Bay of Biscay towards the Atlantic coast of Spain. The first port is La Coruña, where the glass lighthouse built into the Tower of Hercules stands as a reminder of the city’s Roman roots.
After a day at sea, the ship calls at Cádiz, a city framed by old walls and overlooked by a baroque cathedral with a distinctive golden dome. Málaga offers a change of pace with its palm-lined harbour and Picasso museum, while Gibraltar is a curious mix of British territory marked by its famous Rock and Barbary macaques. The voyage then turns northwest to Vigo in Galicia, a place where seafood stalls outnumber souvenir shops.
The round trip returns to Liverpool, having threaded southern Spain’s ports at a leisurely pace. The ship itself is quiet enough for a winter crossing, with enough time ashore to watch flamenco or linger over tapas without needing to rush to the next stop.
