Your cruise at a glance
Hand-crafted highlights
This cruise aboard Borealis offers you an abundance of fascinating wildlife and breathtaking scenery as you visit both the Atlantic island of Madeira and the Portuguese mainland. A local orchid expert will accompany you on a tour of the botanical gardens while you're in Madeira, or take in the stunning views of Câmara de Lobos and Funchal from the 580-metre-high Cabo Girao skywalk. In Lisbon, be sure to try a deliciously flaky pastry, Pastéis de Nata, and some Madeiran wine for a sense of the local way of life. Meanwhile, in Oporto, explore the city by tram and stop off at a wine cellar on the banks of the River Douro to sample the local port wine.
