Cruise Description
With visits to the historic capital, a remote archipelago and the ‘garden island’, this cruise presents the fascinating culture and nature of Portugal. You can delve into the Age of Discovery in the UNESCO-listed city of Angra do Heroísmo – reached from Praia da Vitória – and also in Lisbon. The Sete Cidades crater lakes is a great example of the Azores’ volcanic landscapes, while Madeira’s unique levada walking trails and botanical gardens make for rewarding exploration. As well as viewing sights such as the historic Belém Tower from the comfort of Borealis, you can search for resident sperm whales and other migrating cetaceans with the help of marine wildlife charity ORCA; or join the team from Go Stargazing during the evening to learn more about far flung planets and galaxies.
