About Bolette
Bolette is Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines’ elegant flagship, offering a smaller-ship cruising experience with spacious public areas, open decks and a high crew-to-guest ratio. Built in 2000 as Amsterdam for Holland America Line, she entered Fred. Olsen service in 2021 after an extensive refurbishment. The ship is well suited to scenic cruising, with panoramic observation spaces, a retractable-roof pool and access to smaller ports and waterways than many larger cruise ships.
