Your cruise at a glance
Hand-crafted highlights
Join Bolette on this very special world cruise, crafted by our team of Journey Planners to offer you the chance to witness some of the world’s most impressive scenery, cultures and wildlife. You will be able to visit iconic sites such as Lisbon's Cristo Rei and Rio de Janeiro's Christ the Redeemer statues, Sydney’s Harbour Bridge and Opera House, the culturally significant Moai statues on Easter Island and South Africa’s Table Mountain, as well as discovering lesser-known archipelagos such as Robinson Crusoe Island, and Pitcairn Island. Experience the rhythmic beats of the Samba in Rio, and the pulsating sounds of the Argentine Tango in Buenos Aires, witness Magellanic Penguins in their natural habitat and marvel at the beautiful scenes of the Chilean Fjords. The islands of Tahiti and Bora Bora are beautifully unspoiled with swaying palm trees framing the cerulean seas and white sands, while our visit to South Africa will enable you to go in search of the Big Five and learn more about the remarkable life and incarceration of Nelson Mandela.

Mysterious and remote islands
Located in the Pacific Ocean, and largest of the Juan Fernandez archipelago, Robinson Crusoe Island was home to the marooned Scottish explorer Alexander Selkirk, and is said to have been the inspiration for Daniel Defoe’s novel of the same name. You'll also have the chance to explore the most remotely inhabited island in the world, Easter Island – also known as Rapa Nui – which is home to the mysterious Moai statues, built between the 10th and 16th centuries to honour the island's ancestors. You'll also cruise to Tahiti and Tonga, paradise islands once visited by Captain James Cook, and the Pitcairn Islands, where many of the inhabitants of the island are descendants of the mutineers on HMS Bounty.

Iconic cities of the world
As Bolette sails into Rio de Janeiro, you'll witness the iconic sights of Sugarloaf Mountain and Ipanema Beach, watched over by the outstretched arms of Christ the Redeemer. Known as the Jewel of the Pacific, Valparaiso is one of the most colourful cities in the world, thanks to its brightly tinted buildings, and is close to many of Chile's vineyards, which produce delicious Cabernet Sauvignon and Sauvignon Blanc wines. As you sail into Sydney, join us on Bolette's decks as the renowned Harbour Bridge and Opera House are not to be missed; while Albany is your gateway to the Rainbow Coast. In Cape Town, take the opportunity to experience outstanding views from the plateau of Table Mountain, or explore the vibrant Waterfront area, before going in Search of the Big Five on safari.
