Up on deck eight, the Lido Bar sits beside the swimming pool, its retractable roof meaning a swim is on the cards all year round, wherever in the world Bolette happens to be sailing. Throughout your cruise, the warm and attentive crew provide the personal, intimate service for which Fred. Olsen is renowned.
