Cruise to Portugal & The Islands of Madeira & the Azores

Portugal’s islands are bursting with fascinating landscapes filled with flora and fauna, making this the ideal region for those wanting to get closer to nature. Cruising is a great way to explore the hard-to-reach, remote archipelago of the Azores, which boast dramatic, volcanic landscapes. Our Azores cruises feature the ‘Garden Island’ of Madeira too. With its fragrant flora, unique levada trails and sweet wines, a visit here always feels enlivening.
