Your cruise at a glance
Hand-crafted highlights
This Borealis cruise will take you to the remote Atlantic islands of Madeira and the Azores as well as mainland Portugal, promising an exciting experience for those who enjoy nature, wildlife, and spectacular scenery. The Azores are home to a variety of landscapes, including the remarkable twin crater lakes of Sete Cidades, and visiting during the peak blooming season of the archipelago's fragrant blue hydrangeas adds an extra special dimension. Furthermore, the waterways of the archipelago are home to marine life, including sperm whales, which may be seen from Borealis with the help of conservationists from the wildlife organization ORCA. When in Madeira, take a guided tour of the botanical gardens with a knowledgeable local, or head to Cabo Girao's 580-metre-high skywalk for spectacular vistas over Câmara de Lobos and Funchal.
