Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines ha annunciato una nuovissima World Cruise per il 2025, ispirata ai viaggi intrapresi da famosi esploratori storici.
In partenza da Southampton il 6 gennaio 2025, l’ammiraglia Bolette seguirà un percorso simile alla prima circumnavigazione del mondo da parte degli esploratori Magellano ed Elcano nel 1519.
La crociera, che porterà gli ospiti verso destinazioni tra cui Brasile, Argentina, Polinesia francese, Mauritius e Sud Africa, navigherà anche lungo la costa meridionale dell’Australia come fece il navigatore britannico Matthew Flinders nel 1801, e farà scalo in luoghi visitati da artisti del calibro del Capitano James Cook e Alexander Selkirk, il marinaio scozzese che ha ispirato il romanzo di Robinson Crusoe.
