Tour Overview
Join us as Bolette sets sail for an epic exploration of vibrant, captivating cities and paradise islands, where you'll gain a glimpse into the diverse array of cultures that the world has to offer, encountering the richness of wildlife along the way, too. Explore an abundance of the world's most enchanting islands, including Aitutaki in the Cook Islands, renowned for its crystal-clear lagoon and pristine beaches. Journey through Indonesia, visiting Bali, the 'Island of the Gods'; Lombok, home to the majestic Mount Rinjani; Weh Island, unveiling lush landscapes and tropical forests; and Komodo Island, natural habitat of the world's largest lizard. Elsewhere, Malé is your gateway to the atolls of the Maldives, while Phuket presents the chance to explore the scenic limestone islands of Phang Nga Bay and Phi Phi. Iconic cities grace your journey, too, with the Far Eastern metropolises of Singapore and Kuala Lumpur inviting exploration. Heading 'down under', Auckland offers the opportunity to discover some of New Zealand's remarkable scenery, while Sydney beckons with its iconic Opera House and Harbour Bridge. Meanwhile, Cairns is ideally placed for visiting the awe-inspiring Great Barrier Reef, one of the Seven Wonders of the Natural World. In Egypt, you can delve into ancient history at Luxor and the Valley of the Kings, home to Tutankhamun's tomb.
