Fred Olsen Cruise Lines has cancelled four sailings onboard Bolette due to a lack of demand for the vessel’s winter voyages.

Bolette will return on 21 December 2022 for its planned Christmas cruise to Norway

The line said the cancellations come after the voyages did not reach expected capacity levels at a time when fuel costs are higher.

The company has also moved Bolette’s winter schedule from Tilbury to Dover and Southampton. Impacted guests have been contacted and the vessel is set to return on 21 December for its Christmas sailing to Norway. 

Fred Olsen has also been forced to cancel Balmoral’s planned cruise from Rosyth on Monday (29 August) due to an issue with one of the vessel’s propellers. It will resume sailing again from Southampton on 11 September and the rest of its schedule will remain unchanged.
