The cruise at a glance
The Olsen Way Highlights
Portugal’s islands are bursting with fascinating landscapes filled with flora and fauna, making this the ideal sailing for those wanting to get closer to nature. The hard-to-reach islands of the Azores are home to the Sete Cidades crater lakes and the Furnas Valley hot springs. There’s the chance to spot resident sperm whales here, too. On Madeira, you could wander the levada walking trails or explore the botanical gardens with a local orchid expert. Scenic cruising highlights include sailings past Santa Maria, a remote island with historical links to Columbus; the mighty Cape Girão sea cliff; and the Tower of Hercules, said to be the only Roman lighthouse in existence.
Scenic Discovery – The Torro de Hercules
As part of our programme of Scenic Discoveries programme, Bolette will sail by one of the oldest active Roman Lighthouse’s in the world, the Torre de Hercules. As we sail out of La Coruña, join us on deck for a view of this famous landmark and the delights of the Ria da Coruña from the sea.
Wildlife spotting with ORCA
Join marine experts from ORCA out on deck throughout your cruise as they help you search for and identity cetacean species, including resident sperm whales and dolphins. They will also be on hand throughout your cruise delivering talks and wildlife sessions.
