Fred Olsen Cruise Lines flagship Bolette to feature in Susan Calmans Cruise of a Lifetime
Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines’ flagship Bolette is to make her Channel 5 debut later this month, as presenter Susan Calman sets sail on a Cruise of a Lifetime to the breath-taking Norwegian Fjords.
Susan set sail on her eight-night adventure from Liverpool, before venturing to the Norwegian ports of Olden, Ålesund, Åndalsnes and Geirganger, complete with scenic sailings of Nordfjord, Geirangerfjord and past the world-famous Seven Sisters Waterfall.
Immersing herself in the Norwegian way of life, friluftsliv – which translates to open air life – Susan visited the Briksdal Glacier on tour from Olden, tried her hand at kayaking in the Brosundet canal in Ålesund, and conquered her fear of heights to take in the exceptional vantage points via the Loen Skylift and Romsdalen Gondola.
She also rode the historic Rauma Line aboard the Golden Train from Åndalsnes to Bjorli, voted as one of Europe’s most scenic train journeys.
On board, Susan learnt more about the cruise operation, joining guests for a behind the scenes tour to visit the food stores, laundry and galley to meet with the crew who run these vital procedures, got dressed up for formal night and even indulged in some time in the spa.
The programme will be aired on Channel 5 on Friday 17th of January, and available on demand on My5 after transmission.
