Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines, the UK based destination focused cruise line, said it has completed its fleet by welcoming Bolette to Rosyth, Scotland – just two weeks after taking delivery of another new ship, Borealis.

Both ships were dry docked at the Damen shipyard in Rotterdam prior to their arrival in Scotland.

Bolette was previously Amsterdam of Holland America Line, while Borealis started life as Rotterdam of the same Carnival Corporation & plc group unit.

The new acquisitions are of about 62,000 gross tons and by a wide margin the largest ships in the fleet of Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines, eclipsing the 43,537 gross ton Balmoral. However, their passenger capacity of about 1,400 is only slightly higher than the figure of 1,325 of Balmoral.
