Voyage Description

Our adventure begins in Ponta Delgada, the capital of São Miguel and the main port of the Azores. Before embarking, make sure you haven’t missed the famous Sete Cidades and Lagoa do Fogo, the steaming fumaroles of Furnas, or relaxed in the thermal waters of Ferraria.

National Geographic named the Azores the most beautiful place in the world, and there is no better way to travel from the archipelago to Lisbon than aboard the Santa Maria Manuela.

This 780-nautical-mile blue water crossing is a classic tall ship sailing experience. Our crew loves to share their knowledge and will encourage you to get actively involved in the ship’s life. Volunteers to hoist and trim the sails are always welcome, and steering a 68m sailing ship as she responds to the wheel is something to savor.

On board, you can learn sailor’s knots, challenge yourself to climb the mast, or simply relax in the bowsprit netting. If the weather allows, each sunset on deck is best enjoyed with a drink in hand and an unforgettable view.

Lisbon awaits, as we sail up the Tagus River, passing under the 25 de Abril Bridge before docking. After disembarking, immerse yourself in Lisbon’s vibrant culture, with its Fado music, historic neighborhoods like Alfama, and stunning viewpoints. Don’t miss the Belém Tower and the Jerónimos Monastery, both UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
