Castellón (ES) – Lisboa (PT)

Destination     Castellón – Lisboa

Dates                  13 April (Embark 16h00) – 19 April (Disembark 10h00)

On this 6 day voyage aboard the Santa Maria Manuela we start from the vibrant harbor festival of Castellon through the Gibraltar Straight, and north towards Portugal’s historic capital of Lisbon.

Volunteer to help the crew hoist and set the sails.  The feeling of helming a 68m sailing ship with the sensation as she responds to the command of the wheel is something to savor forever.   There is nothing our crew like more then to share their knowledge of sailing with our guests, and they will encourage you to get actively involved in sailing the ship.

Knot classes are a great way to learn a new skill whilst sharing sailing stories with shipmates, and if the weather allows there’s the opportunity to go up the mast or relax on the bowsprit.  A drink at sunset on the deck is the perfect way to round off each day.

Lisbon beckons, as we sail up the Rio Tejo beneath the city’s famous suspension bridge, Ponte 25 de Abril.   After you disembark consider immersing yourself in the vibrant culture of Lisbon, with its Fado music, historic neighborhoods like Alfama, and stunning viewpoints.  Visit the Belem Tower and Jerónimos Monastery, both UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
