Set sail on a serene transatlantic journey that begins in Ponta Delgada on the lush island of São Miguel in the Azores. Spend several days at sea, enjoying the tranquility of open waters and the magic of sailing, before arriving in Lisbon, Portugal’s vibrant capital. This voyage combines the natural beauty of the Azores with the timeless charm and cultural richness of Lisbon, offering a perfect blend of relaxation and exploration.
Departure 7:00 pm
The lively capital of São Miguel receives its guests at the trefoil-shaped city gate and invites them in on mosaic-like cobbled pavements through narrow lanes leading to whitewashed houses with black facade decoration made from basalt. The historic old city of Ponta Delgada is covered by a preservation order. Two large lakes are picturesquely set in the crater of Sete Cidades – the sapphire blue Lagoa Azul and the emerald green Lagoa Verde. At the edge of the crater the view widens out and exposes a spectacular panorama. On one side ebony sand and by the azure Atlantic, on the other side turquoise crater lakes amidst green rolling hills and blue flowering hydrangea bushes.
Spend the day sunbathing, enjoy the fresh wind breeze, and relax into the day!
Arrival 8:00 am
The most beautiful approach to the Portuguese capital is to travel up the River Tagus. One of the city's most famous landmarks has been greeting visitors right on the estuary since 1521 – the Torre de Belém. This is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and transports you back to the glory days when Portugal was a naval power. There are many landmarks, such as the facades of the houses decorated with azulejos tilework and the ancient trams that rattle through the city. But Lisbon has many different sides. Joie de vivre comes face to face with the melancholy of Fado music, winding lanes in the old city meet wide boulevards, while magnificent churches and austere monasteries show the two sides of former religious faith.
Itineraries are subject to change.
