Portugal’s remarkable diversity and beauty is yours to experience, as Black Watch takes you to beautiful islands in the Azores, floral Madeira and the cultural city of Oporto. What’s more, you’ll also be part of the ‘Four Fred.’s in Funchal’ event, joining guests and crew from Fred. Olsen’s entire fleet of ocean-going ships for an unforgettable day of celebration in the Madeiran capital.
Your incredible exploration of the breathtaking Azores takes in three of the archipelago’s most beautifully unspoilt, captivating islands. On Terceira Island, your day-long stop at Praia da Vitoria affords time to visit the historic port city of Angra do Heroismo. This UNESCO-listed jewel in Terceira’s crown boasts interesting museums and a collection of impressive palaces and churches including the 16th century Sé Cathedral. The 205-metre-high Monte Brasil, towering over Angra do Heroismo, offers fantastic views of the city and the surrounding scenery. Then there’s hard-to-reach Faial Island, a wonderland of volcanic craters, tranquil lakes and emerald green valleys. Horta is your starting point for discovering the island’s natural highlights, such as the magnificent Capelinhos Volcano. The Capelinhos is Faial’s most famous landmark and can be seen in all its striking glory on a scenic island drive or exhilarating 4x4 adventure. Within Horta, the historic city centre and picturesque marina are also well worth exploring. [ReadMore]
Incredible volcanic wonders await on São Miguel Island too. Ponta Delgada is your gateway to the extinct Sete Cidades Volcano, where a 13-kilometre-wide crater and colourful lakes create an astonishing scene. Elsewhere there’s Terra Nosta Park, a haven of gorgeous gardens, geo-thermal pools and dense woodlands that are home to stunning endemic flora. After your Azorean adventure you’ll head to Madeira for the very special ‘Four Fred.’s in Funchal’ event. You’ll dock alongside Braemar, Balmoral and Boudicca and be part of a memorable day of celebration shared with crew and fellow guests from all four ocean-going ships in the Fred. Olsen fleet. You can enjoy fantastic live entertainment; tuck-in to delicious, specially prepared menus; and even visit the other ships in the fleet during this simply unforgettable occasion. Away from all the festivity, there are chances to explore Madeira’s botanical gardens and picturesque walking trails too. To complete your in-depth Portuguese discovery Black Watch brings you to the mainland, for a chance to visit Oporto from Leixoes. Tour to Portugal’s second city for chances to ride a Rabelo boat along the Douro River, followed by a sampling of famous port wines; and wander the UNESCO-listed historic centre.

Praia da Vitoria, Portugal
Pretty Praia da Vitoria, the former capital of the Azores, is a town steeped in history. Originally heavily fortified, Praia has a fascinating historic quarter, and a stunning natural harbour that’s overlooked by the impressive 16th century Fort of Santa Catarina.
Translated as the Beach of the Victory, Praia da Vitoria is a popular destination thanks to a bustling, modern harbour, vibrant town centre and gorgeous sandy beaches. The pick of which is the uncrowded Praia Grande, which is a safe, dark sand beach with barely any waves.
Praia’s centre has a pleasant pedestrian zone with many attractive shops and some notable historic buildings that deserve a glance. The most notable monuments include the imposing bell towers of 15th century Igreja Matriz de Santa Cruz and the stunning Town Hall in the main square.

Ponta Delgada, Portugal
Ponta Delgada, the main town on the island of São Miguel, is the capital of the Azores archipelago of Portugal. The town’s cosmopolitan atmosphere belies its 500 year history, and the surrounding island boasts beautiful lakes, mountains, sandy beaches and the stunning crater lakes of the extinct Sete Cidades volcano.
Ponta Delgada’s fine collection of buildings, narrow cobbled streets and squares, are a firm reminder that this was once a key staging post between Europe and the Americas. Intermingled are cool parks, enchanting squares, a modern marina, restaurants and waterside cafés. Its lakeside, whitewashed houses with terracotta roofs look out to enchanting mountain plains.
The striking, three-arched city gates, Portas da Cidade – which once stood in the harbour and now reside in Gonçalo Velho Cabral Square, were dedicated to the Portuguese navigator who discovered the Azores. The Gothic Church of St. Sebastian and The Convent and Chapel of Our Lady of Hope, which is home to a revered image of Christ, are both worth uncovering. The Carlos Machado Museum offers diverse artefacts of Azorean culture, while Igreja Matriz Church, with its splendid clock tower, is one of many beautifully ornate towers to be found.
The ‘Green Island’ also offers canoeing and other sports activities on lakes located in the craters of its dormant volcanoes. The island’s beauty can also be enjoyed by horse riding or cycling.

Funchal, Madeira, Portugal
Funchal, the capital of Portugal's Madeiran archipelago, has a timeless old-world charm. Enhanced by a subtropical climate that fills this 'floating garden' with the year-round colours and perfumes of flowers and fruit, Funchal was a favourite of Sir Winston Churchill. His praise of the city has ensured British visitors always receive a warm welcome from locals.
Backed by rolling hills, the town is famous for its harbour, the 17th century São Tiago Fortress (now the Contemporary Art Museum) and world renowned Madeiran wine cellars. Funchal’s parks and gardens are a delight, and a hike through the Laurel Forest nearby is highly recommended. The ancient Funchal Cathedral mixes Gothic and Romanesque architecture, and is noted for its impressive carved wooden ceiling.

Leixões (for Oporto), Portugal
A short journey from Leixões takes you into the heart of Oporto, with its fortress-like Cathedral and the Baroque Church of Clérigos. Head to the historic Ribeira District, where the narrow, cobbled lanes wind their way down to the Douro River. Don’t forget to visit one of the many wine cellars for a taste of the tipple named after the city, Port. On the ground floor of the Museu Romantico is the Port Wine Institute, where port is served with great ceremony.
Oporto sits deep in the gorge of the River Douro and on the riverside – dominated by the two-level Luis I bridge – it’s possible to look up at the narrow old town streets climbing out of the valley. Pastel-fronted houses with red-tiled roofs line the streets, mixed with neo-classical buildings and wonderful baroque churches. Dominating the centre of the city is the fortress-like Cathedral, which is worth visiting for the views alone.

The Fred. Olsen Difference
Real ships
We’re not interested in gimmicks like zip wires, climbing walls or celebrity chefs. We don’t have boastful megaships. We take immense pride in our fleet of smaller-scaled vessels that retain the style, ambience and understated quality of a country house hotel. We ensure they remain contemporary too: from winter 2016 to spring 2018 the whole fleet underwent dry dock refits to further enhance the facilities for guests. With the fifth generation Fred. Olsen as Chairman and 170 years of seafaring heritage behind us, we believe we’ve found the perfect formula for you to get the best out of your holiday with us.
Smaller but spacious
A smaller ship doesn’t mean less space; far from it. Each room is comfortably sized, with all that you’ll need to enjoy your holiday. In fact, our rooms are comparable to those on some of the mammoth cruise ships. While our vessels are on a more accessible scale, you can have just as much private space. With fewer people on board it’s easy to find a quiet spot to relax in peace with a drink or a good book. There’s room to stretch out by the pool and you can get ashore more quickly too. And when you’re ashore, you’re seeing the best of each port of call with hundreds – not thousands – of others, giving you a much more authentic experience.
Service with a smile
Each member of the Fred. Olsen team has been carefully selected for their warm and welcoming personalities. The quality of our people, supported by training and development, ensures they will give you a great holiday: in guest feedback our staff are always the most highly-rated aspect of the whole experience.
