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.

Highlights

Easter Island

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.
