At Fred. Olsen, we share your passion for travelling the world with our Grand Voyages. Each year, our talented Journey Planners craft a programme of exciting cruises sailing around the world on board our smaller ships, taking you to explore the furthest corners of the globe and experience a variety of unique cultures.

At the start of 2025, Bolette will embark on a voyage of exploration around the world as she sails through the Magellan Strait taking in Easter Island, idyllic Tahitian islands and iconic Australian cities, before heading on to Africa - where guests can go in search of the Big Five, or visit South Africa’s vineyards.

In 2026, Borealis will sail to South America and the Antarctic on an epic journey of exploration. See penguins in the Falkland Islands, experience the Rio Carnival at the Sambadrome, and discover the awe-inspiring Chilean fjords, flanked by snow-capped peaks; while Bolette will visit the beautiful islands of Indonesia, Thailand and the Maldives; before taking in the captivating cities of Kuala Lumpur, Sydney and Auckland, and Cairns for the Great Barrier Reef.

The Mediterranean waters will welcome Balmoral on a brand new Grand Voyage visiting scenic coastlines and islands in abundance. See intricate architecture at Barcelona’s Sagrada Familia and Istanbul’s Topkapi Palace, experience natural wonders like scenic Lake Bled and the Ibizan sunset, and embrace the beautiful clifftop towns of the Amalfi coast and Greek islands, with their iconic colours.
