Bolette's 2026 No-Fly Grand World Voyage

Bora Bora, French Polynesia - As you approach this French Polynesian island, you may genuinely think your eyes are deceiving you. You’ll wonder how brilliant shades of turquoise, sapphire and indigo can all coexist to form such a luscious lagoon, matched only in its beauty by the blindingly white ring of sand and majestic mountain peaks at its centre. Join a snorkelling trip where you'll soon be surrounded by multi-coloured tropical fish, of which nearly 500 different species live in the Tahitian islands. Bora Bora is the quintessential paradise island and is a simply unforgettable destination. 

Auckland, New Zealand - Stretched over a volcanic field on New Zealand's North Island is multicultural Auckland. The country's largest city, this thriving hub offers everything you would expect - enchanting scenery at every turn, fascinating Maori heritage and friendly locals. The urban centre occupies a narrow isthmus between two harbours, while the outer region boasts beautiful beaches, fertile farmlands and rainforest-covered hills. One of the best ways to appreciate Auckland's amazing vistas is from the 328m tall Sky Tower which offers impressive 360-degree views of the city.

Sydney, Australia - As the ship glides towards the port, the view of the Sydney cityscape in the distance is enough to take your breath away. Attracting visitors with its iconic harbour, glorious beaches and the stunning Blue Mountains to the west, Sydney hosts nearly half of all international visits to Australia.
 

Benoa, Bali, Indonesia - Beautiful Bali is everything you imagine it will be; humbling temples, tranquil lakes, traditional villages, idyllic sands and thriving paddy fields. A relatively small island within expansive Indonesia, its big personality makes it a popular draw for religious pilgrims, peace-seeking travellers and all manner of beach lovers. To learn more about the island’s heritage, stop off in cultural Ubud to browse its museums, market and art galleries. 

Singapore - As a city-state, Singapore is both the country and its capital and this immaculately clean region is one of many contrasts. Ultra-modern skyscrapers overlook historic temples, while a tropical rainforest lies a few miles outside the urban buzz of the central Business District. 

Phuket, Thailand - When most of us think of paradise, the vision that springs to mind is likely to resemble the spectacular landscapes of Phuket. The largest island in Thailand, this travellers’ utopia is set in the glittering Andaman Sea and is known for its rugged, mountainous nature.huket is renowned for the amazing quality of its staggeringly beautiful beaches – of which there are no fewer than 30! Amongst these is the resort of Patong, where visitors firmly embrace the Thai ethos of ‘mai pen rai’, a phrase which translates to something similar to ‘no worries’.  At 45m high and 25m wide, you can’t really miss Phuket’s captivating Big Buddha on your travels around the island.
