Cruise from the UK to Australia

Experience the travel adventure of a lifetime
Travel around the world to Australia with no flights 
Departs and returns direct to the UK - Liverpool & Southampton
Embark on a trip across the world direct from the UK, choose from the departure ports of either Liverpool or Southampton and over the next three months experience a life of luxury and unparalleled travel discovery as you circumnavigate the world retracing the steps of the great explorers to Australia and then return back to the UK with no flights.

Prices for this cruise sailing with Fred Olsen on the ship Bolette start from just £13,899 per person based on two people sharing a cabin.

Many travellers are keen to avoid all the hassle and discomfort of flying which inevitably involves organising travel to the airport with taxis or parking costs, lengthy security checks and coping with the bustle of busy airports with thousands of passengers all in a rush. Add in too that mix early or late night flights, jet lag and long haul flight turbulence and it is easy to understand why many travellers choose to seek out an alternative travel method which avoids flying altogether.

There are very few cruise operators offering a direct cruise from the UK to Australia and back again with no flights but Fred Olsen is the stand out operator in this niche. You can enjoy an incredible 'cruise of a lifetime' where you will sail in complete luxury. Enjoy dining on sumptuous food and relaxing in either the spacious lounges and bars or beside the pools, be entertained with a full daily itinerary of lectures, live music and theatrical night-time shows while the ship effortlessly transports you across the globe allowing you to visit some of the remotest and most beautiful cities and islands our world has to offer. 

This is a cruise which creates memories you will cherish for a lifetime and comes at a cost which represents incredible value for money.

A cruise to the other side of the World direct from the UK offers you the chance to travel in complete luxury and relaxation whilst also getting to visit some of the most beautiful and remote places on the planet. This no-fly cruise is on a smaller sized cruise ship which is easily able to navigate the globe but without feeling like a floating city on the sea.

This ship only has 690 cabins which means life on board always feels relaxed with the cruise ship staff having time to look after every guest properly. There is no rush to find a space to eat in the restaurants or for a drink in your favourite bar. The Fred Olsen staff are renowned for their friendliness and nothing is ever too much trouble, you will enjoy a welcome on-board like a family member not a guest.

​Every cabin grade offers as a minimum air-conditioning and ensuite bathrooms, comfortable beds and regular daily maid service including full in-room dining service if required.
