Our journey begins in Ponta Delgada, the bustling capital of São Miguel and the gateway to the Azores. Before boarding, be sure to explore the island’s highlights: the twin crater lakes of Sete Cidades, the turquoise waters of Lagoa do Fogo, the steaming fumaroles at Furnas, and the rejuvenating thermal springs of Ferraria.
Once described by National Geographic as the most beautiful place in the world, the Azores provide the perfect starting point for a blue-water passage to Lisbon aboard the tall ship.
This 780-nautical-mile crossing is a quintessential tall ship experience. Guests are encouraged to take part in daily life at sea—help raise and trim the sails, or take the helm and feel the power of a 68-meter schooner respond to your touch. The crew is always eager to share their seamanship, guiding volunteers through every step.
Life on board balances activity with relaxation: learn the art of ropework, climb the rigging for a bird’s-eye view, or stretch out on the bowsprit netting. When the weather cooperates, evenings end in unforgettable fashion—watching the sun sink into the horizon, drink in hand, from the open deck.
Our voyage concludes in Lisbon, sailing up the Tagus beneath the iconic 25 de Abril Bridge before mooring in the heart of the city. After disembarkation, immerse yourself in Portugal’s capital—wander through Alfama’s winding streets, listen to the soulful notes of Fado, and visit landmarks like the Belém Tower and Jerónimos Monastery, both UNESCO World Heritage sites.
