VOYAGE DESCRIPTION

Join us for an extraordinary 5-day voyage through the heart of the Azores, starting and ending on the island of Terceira, with stops at São Jorge and Pico. Sail aboard our historic tall ship and experience the natural beauty and maritime traditions of the Azorean islands.

Your adventure begins in Angra do Heroísmo, Terceira’s UNESCO World Heritage city. From here, we make our way to São Jorge, a hidden gem in the Azores known for its dramatic cliffs, green hills, and iconic “fajãs” (coastal plains). Here, take a moment to enjoy the local cheese, considered one of the finest in Portugal, and hike along breathtaking trails with panoramic views of the Atlantic.

Next, we sail on to the island of Pico, home to Portugal’s highest mountain and famed for its rich whaling history. On Pico, you can explore the island’s volcanic landscapes, visit its UNESCO-protected vineyards, or hike the slopes of Mount Pico for a truly spectacular view.

The voyage concludes back on Terceira, where you’ll have a chance to reflect on your journey while sailing into the picturesque harbor of Angra do Heroísmo. Whether you’re working with the crew to hoist the sails or enjoying the peaceful atmosphere on deck, this is a sailing experience unlike any other.
