Your cruise at a glance
The Olsen Way Highlights
This Scandinavian journey takes in destinations ripe for exploration, be it on land or water. An extended stay in Stockholm affords time to capture highlights such as the Royal Palace. Either side of your visit, Bolette will sail between the rocky islands and islets of the Stockholm Archipelago. Copenhagen boasts canals and royal palaces, while in Oslo you will find artistic wonders galore. The Norwegian capital is reached via the Oslofjord, where we will pass the Olsen family home in Hvitsten. Helsinki’s pristine white cathedral is well worth a visit, while a boat tour can show you the city’s surrounding archipelago and the fortress island of Suomenlinna.
