Bolette's 2025 Maiden No-Fly Grand World Voyage

Buenos Aires, Argentina 

A rich combination of European grandeur and Latino passion, the capital city of Argentina is steeped in history. Buenos Aires has a diverse range of architecture, tree-lined boulevards and museums. Jazz and tango clubs are popular, with the latter having originated in the city in the 18th century and now one of the most famous Latin dances. The city is synonymous with one of the most powerful women of our time, Eva Perón, who helped change the history of Argentina.

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Rio de Janeiro is famed for its Copacabana and Ipanema beaches, framed by Sugarloaf Mountain, accessed by cable car, and Mount Corcovado. The iconic statue of Christ the Redeemer looks over the city from a height of 2,310 feet, and is deemed one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. The city is also renowned for its Carnival, and is one of the most famous events in the world, consisting of huge flamboyant parades, dancing and elaborate costumes.

Easter Island ★ Maiden Port ★

Just south of the Tropic of Capricorn, Easter Island, or Rapa Nui, lies 3,790 kilometres to the west of Chile. Extraordinarily remote, this island was first inhabited by Polynesians who are believed to have arrived by sea about 1,200 years ago. The island is best known as the site of more than 600 stone statues, or Moai, which stand up to nine metres in height. The statues were carved in the spectacular Rano Raraku quarry and were then believed to have been transported on wooden rollers to their destinations. Little is known about these fascinating statues, and during your full day tours, you can begin to uncover the legends that surrounds Easter Island. 

Cape Town, South Africa

The flat-topped Table Mountain – one of the New Seven Wonders of the World, stands tall over the cosmopolitan city of Cape Town. This iconic city is known for its lively Victoria & Alfred Waterfront area, full of restaurants, attractions and shops; but away from the hustle and bustle is the Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden, full of indigenous flora, including the South African national flower, the protea. Cape Town is also renowned for its Winelands region, producing world class wines.
