Your cruise at a glance
Hand-crafted highlights
Join Bolette in Cape Town and take the chance to explore this magnificent city overlooked by iconic Table Mountain before uncovering the history of Kolmanskop from Lüderitz, a ghost town that boomed in the early 1900's diamond mining era before being left deserted. From Walvis Bay, you will have the chance to explore the vast landscapes of the Namib desert, the oldest desert in the world, and witness the sea of pink hues at Swakopmund Lagoon from visiting flamingoes. Immerse yourself in Senegalese culture and experience an effervescent folklore performance by the Lebou ethnic group, whose society focuses on ancestral spirits. Bolette will then continue on to Jamestown, the capital of the remote island of St. Helena, famously known as the final resting place of Napoleon, and home to the 699 steps of Jacob's Ladder snaking up the craggy hillside.
Your time spent on board Bolette is 21 nights, but please allow for your flight from the UK to Cape Town.

The handy checklist below has been created to assist in making sure you remember all the important things to pack for your cruise.
Visa and health requirements can change at any time. It is your own responsibility to ensure that you check with a professionally qualified source and comply with such requirements. UK passport holders will need visas for certain Fred. Olsen cruise holidays and will be advised at the time of booking. Your cruise booking information will also detail any requirements applicable to your holiday.
On certain sailings we offer two types of cruise fares; Freedom and Saver Fares.
Our single guests feel right at home on board our ships; Fred. Olsen have the reputation of sailing the friendliest fleet afloat.
Disembarking when your ship's at anchor is a very different experience to when it's docked portside. Getting ashore in this instance often involves the use of the ship's tender, which is accessed via the steps of a secure gangway.
