British television personality Michaela Strachan is set to embark on two unique adventures with Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines, bringing her passion for wildlife and travel to the forefront. In September 2024, she’ll be spending six days aboard the Bolette, sailing through the picturesque Norwegian Fjords during the ‘Scenic Autumnal Norwegian Fjords’ cruise. Her three decades of experience in television will enrich the journey for guests, providing insights into the natural world.
Following this, Strachan will join the Bolette once again in March 2025 for its inaugural world voyage, ‘A Voyage of Exploration Around the World’. This time, she’ll be focusing on South Africa, a place she’s called home for the past 22 years.
Guests on the Norwegian Fjords cruise will have the opportunity to learn about British wildlife from Strachan herself. During the Cape Town stop on the world voyage, she’ll share her experience with SANCCOB, the local seabird rescue center, highlighting the importance of penguin conservation.
Beyond the talks and insights, guests can also enjoy exclusive lunches with Michaela, participate in Q&A sessions, and even join her on tours, like kayaking in Alesund, Norway, or visiting the penguin colony at Boulders Beach in Cape Town.
The world voyage promises to be a breathtaking journey, taking guests to iconic destinations like Sydney’s Harbour and Opera House, the enigmatic Moai statues on Easter Island, and the vibrant rhythms of Samba in Rio de Janeiro and Argentine Tango in Buenos Aires. Guests will also experience the stunning beauty of the Chilean Fjords, with the Norwegian leg perfectly timed to capture the vibrant autumnal hues of the landscapes.
Michaela Strachan’s presence on these cruises promises to make them truly special. Her knowledge and passion for wildlife, combined with her love for travel, will undoubtedly enhance the experience for all aboard. Guests can choose to join the nine-night ‘Scenic Autumnal Norwegian Fjords’ cruise (T2422) departing Liverpool on September 21st, 2024, or the 106-night ‘A Voyage of Exploration Around the World’ cruise (T2502) setting sail from Southampton on January 6th, 2025. Both cruises offer unique itineraries and onboard experiences designed to create unforgettable memories.
