Fred Olsen Cruise Lines returns to Dover this month with flagship Bolette running a series of later summer cruises.
An eight-night itinerary to Scotland will be the ship’s first departure from the Kent port this year followed by sailings to Norway, the Azores and Madeira and Scandinavian cities.
Dover then will become the homeport for Balmoral from September to November with cruises to the Arctic Circle and a 28-day voyage around Greece and the Adriatic.
Product and customer service director Clare Ward said: “We have offered cruises from Dover for many years, and we are really pleased to be returning again this summer. Our ships always receive such a warm welcome.
“Our journey planners have hand-crafted these late summer sailings specially, taking advantage of the south-easterly location of the port to maximise the experiences on-board and ashore for our guests.
“This summer, guests will be able to enjoy a scenic sailing of the River Seine in a short four-night break to France, experience Sami culture in Arctic Norway in a journey to seek out the Northern Lights, or voyage to the Adriatic, with opportunities to explore the ancient sites of Dubrovnik, Kotor and Athens on a longer break.”
