A visit to PRAIA DA VITORIA reveals the beginnings of the settlement of the Azores. Past and present intertwine in Terceira, the island’s oldest town – walk to buildings of historical interest and the modern beach promenade. Sao Miguel is the natural paradise of the Azores. From PONTA DELGADA, hikes* take you to volcanic slopes and jungle, past rivers, waterfalls and reflective crater lakes. A canyoning tour* through the gorge will really give you a thrill. To experience the many charms of Madeira, the EUROPA will stay for one day and one night. Portugal’s flower island lives up to its name in FUNCHAL: between impressive mountain slopes and the deep-blue ocean, the most beautiful flowers bloom in the capital’s tropical gardens. Early risers should plan a visit to the Mercado dos Lavradores farmers’ market: flowers, culinary delicacies and handicrafts are packed in across two floors. A levada hike* will provide insights into the traditional irrigation system. The paths lead along the canals, through valleys and ancient forests, and past small waterfalls. PORTO SANTO is considered Madeira’s sister. The golden sand on the kilometre-long beaches is said to have healing powers. Enjoy a day on the “golden island” and follow in the footsteps of its most famous resident: Christopher Columbus. You’ll reach TENERIFE brimming with memories. After one afternoon and an overnight stay on board, you’ll begin your journey home.
