Fred Olsen’s Bolette Set to Dazzle Viewers in Channel 5’s Norwegian Fjord Special

Fred Olsen’s ship Bolette is set to appear on Channel 5 in the UK as host Susan Calman embarks on an 8-night voyage through the Norwegian Fjords for her series, Cruise of a Lifetime. The cruise departs from Liverpool and includes stops at several Norwegian ports, including Olden, Alesund, Andalsnes, and Geiranger, alongside scenic sailings through Nordfjord and Geirangerfjord, and a view of the Seven Sisters Waterfall.

During her travels, Susan engages with the Norwegian concept of friluftsliv, promoting outdoor living. Her journey features visits to the Briksdal Glacier, kayaking in Alesund’s Brosundet canal, and breathtaking rides on the Loen Skylift and Romsdalen Gondola, as well as a trip on the picturesque Rauma Line, known as the Golden Train.

Onboard the MS Bolette, Susan takes a behind-the-scenes tour and interacts with the crew in essential areas like the galley and laundry. She also enjoys galas and the ship’s spa facilities.

Samantha Stimpson, CEO of Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines, expressed excitement about the show, highlighting it as a chance to showcase the smaller ship’s ability to reach unique destinations in the fjordlands — places larger ships cannot access. The program aims to share the stunning scenery and personalized service that Fred. Olsen is renowned for, extending the journey’s magic to viewers at home.
