With 690 cabins, the Bolette can carry 1,338 guests and 657 crew members. The Bolette is the ship for a number of cruises including the two night mini cruise for £349 and the cruise to the volcanic land of fire and ice also from Liverpool.

It has a number of dining options with everything from traditional afternoon tea to daily buffets. The ship also has swimming pools, jacuzzis, dance classes, evening shows and cookery demonstrations, so you will be spoilt for choice from the moment you step aboard.

Speaking about the Discovering The World's Idyllic Islands & Iconic Cities cruise , Fred.

"Cruise to Indonesia, visiting Bali, the 'Island of the Gods', with its spiritual ambience; Lombok, home to the magnificent Mount Rinjani; Weh Island, with its lush landscapes and tropical forests; and Komodo Island, home to the world's largest lizard. Malé is your gateway to the picture-perfect atolls of the Maldives, while Phuket presents the chance to explore the limestone islands of Phang Nga Bay and Phi Phi.

"Iconic cities grace your journey, too, with the metropolises of Singapore and Kuala Lumpur inviting exploration. Head 'down under', where Auckland offers the opportunity to discover some of New Zealand's remarkable scenery, and Sydney beckons with its iconic Opera House and Harbour Bridge.

"Cairns is ideally placed for visiting the Great Barrier Reef, one of the Seven Wonders of the Natural World; while in Egypt, you can delve into ancient history at Luxor and the Valley of the Kings, home to Tutankhamun's tomb."
