Bolette will feature in the Channel 5 series 'Susan Calman’s Cruise of a Lifetime' later this month.

Calman, a Scottish comedian and TV host, is shown setting sail on an eight-night voyage from Liverpool on board the ship, venturing to the Norwegian ports of Olden, Ålesund, Åndalsnes and Geirganger, complete with scenic sailings of Nordfjord, Geirangerfjord and past the Seven Sisters Waterfall.

Samantha Stimpson, CEO at Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines, said, 'We are all incredibly excited to see our flagship Bolette make her Channel 5 debut later this month... As a business, our heritage stems from Norway, and we are well known for our sailings to this beautiful part of the world. Our fleet really comes into its own in the heart of the fjordlands thanks to the smaller size of our ships, which allow us to reach the depths of the fjords that aren’t accessible to larger vessels.'

Stimpson added, 'To be able to share this experience far beyond those who joined us on board for this cruise is a truly exceptional opportunity.'
