A special voyage this September aboard a classic British liner that only visits small hamlets, remote islands and wild coastlines and lochs across England, Scotland and Ireland – with no calls to cities or major towns – is available through Australian boutique cruise specialist, Cruise Traveller. Last cabins are now on sale including availability in spacious Premier Suites.
The unique journey from Liverpool through the wilds of the British Isles is with UK-based Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines aboard the 1338-guest Bolette, which offers traditional seafaring heritage and the timeless pleasures of classic British cruising on a spacious ship still small enough to access smaller ports and enter Scotland’s serene and secluded lochs.
Perfect for Australians seeking new horizons to explore, the 10-night, off-the-main-tourist-route voyage begins on September 12, 2026, from Liverpool in England, when Bolette heads to sea, bound first for the ruggedly beautiful isle of Portland in the English Channel. The peaceful islet of St Mary’s off the coast of Cornwall is next where picturesque beaches and emerald, rolling hills await.
Bolette will then offer guests a visual feast with a day of scenic cruising off Ireland past the spectacularly craggy and remote islands of the Skelligs and Blaskets, and the soaring Cliffs of Moher. The charming, Irish fishing port of Killybegs invites exploration on foot, followed by the colourful houses of Portree on the scenic Isle of Skye in Scotland. The far-flung islands of the Orkneys north of Scotland then appear on the horizon before Bolette spends a day sailing through the breathtaking sea lochs of A Chairn Bhain, Broom and Torridon.
The scenic buffet continues with close-up views of majestic, rocky islands like Ailsa Craig, Fingal’s Cave and Dutchman’s Cap, off Scotland. The voyage ends back in Liverpool.
The 10-night cruise on September 12, 2026, is available from £5039 per person (approx. A$9472 pp), twin-share, in a spacious Premier Suite with king bed, whirlpool bath, lounge area, dressing room and private balcony.
Fares include onboard gratuities and selected drinks with lunch and dinner.
Cruise Traveller Managing Director, Joe O’Sullivan, said: “A voyage with Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines is all about enjoying the journey and seeing the world in comfort and style. Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines’ ships are smaller, more personal and full of charm and character, with space to relax in style so that you can savour the timeless pleasures of sea travel.”
