The cruise at a glance

The Olsen Way Highlights

Our team has planned this cruise to give you the opportunity to immerse yourself in the history and culture of the Baltic. The UNESCO-listed town of Visby is like a living museum, renowned for its well-preserved medieval wall and defensive towers, while Tallinn’s highlights include the castles, cathedrals and churches of the fairytale-esque Old Town. Gdansk is amongst Poland’s most important and dynamic cities and boasts over a thousand years of seafaring traditions and heritage. You will spend two days in Latvia, including calling into the capital, Riga, with its Gothic spires and beautiful Art Nouveau quarter.

Highlights

Riga, Latvia

Baltic Ports of the Hanseatic League

 

The Hanseatic League was created to protect trade and form alliances that fixed prices for commodities across the Baltic region. Join us as we hear from our Guest Speaker to learn more about how this trading cartel rose to power before declining in the 16th century.

Great Belt Bridge

Cruising the Great Belt

 

Running between the Danish islands of Funen, Langeland, Zealand and Lolland, the Great Belt connects the Baltic Sea with the Kattegat – close to Jutland in Denmark, and is around 35 nautical miles long. Covering the strait is the Great Belt Bridge, consisting of bridges and tunnels, which opened in the latter years of the last Millennium and is not to be missed. Our on board teams will be on hand to provide commentary about this fascinating feat of engineering as we approach the bridge.

Official Coronation Logo

The Coronation of King Charles III

 

Watch the Coronation of King Charles III on board Bolette, and join us as we host some great activities to celebrate the occasion. We’ll have a special guest speaker on board who will share their knowledge of this special Royal event, and Bolette will be decorated in red, white and blue bunting. Enjoy a special cocktail, created just for the Coronation, at our Deck Party, and marvel at the commemorative cake (and perhaps enjoy a slice too!)
