Fred Olsen Cruise Lines’ new flagship Bolette departed from Dover on Monday (16 August) ahead of a three-night maiden voyage around the Isles of Scilly.

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

Amenities onboard include an all-weather pool, a two-tiered theatre, an auditorium, a gym, a sports centre, eight bars and six restaurants.
 
The 690-cabin vessel can hold up to 1,338 guests and 615 crew members at standard occupancy.

The sailing follows a refurbishment programme which saw public areas revamped, cabins updated, new bathrooms installed and new carpets laid throughout.

Peter Deer, managing director of Fred Olsen Cruise Lines, described the milestone as a "very important" day for the line.
