Transatlantic Crossing

Arrive in Lisbon, Portugal's historic capital, to embark your ship. Relax and settle in to your well-appointed stateroom and take time to get acquainted with the many ship amenities.

Our evening tour is a perfect way to get to know Lisbon, as we offer a fado performance with a tapas meal.

Today, explore the labyrinthine streets of Lisbon's Alfama District and the 12th-century Sé Cathedral (Lisbon Cathedral). On an included panoramic tour of this seafaring capital, you'll also trace the Tagus River to the Elevador da Gloria, a funicular train that takes you to the hilltop suburb of Bairro Alto. Soak up magical views and shop the lively Chiado Quarter. Or, consider an excursion through the countryside to Sintra, renowned for its multi-hued palaces and stalwart castles. You can also choose an excursion to see Lisbon's architectural masterpieces, including the ornate Jerónimos Monastery and the adjacent Belém Tower, both UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

As you sail westward into the Atlantic, take advantage of the many amenities of your ship. You might attend an enriching onboard talk to learn about your upcoming ports. Lounge by the Main Pool with its retractable roof and enjoy a cocktail at the Aquavit Bar.

Call on the capital of the Azores, Ponta Delgada, once a staging post for explorers continuing their voyage to the New World. Today, the cultural center of the island of São Miguel hosts impressive churches and tidy white houses that recall its supporting role in the Age of Discovery.

Alternately, marvel at Portugal's famed 'lake of two colors' or explore Ponta Delgada by tuk-tuk.

It is home to charming Angra—the oldest city and historic capital of the Azores, as well as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In the northeast lies Praia da Vitória, whose historic city center is composed of narrow streets and alleys lined with brightly hued residences, shops and historic buildings displaying a range of architectural styles. Terceira is also home to the Azores Air Zone Command, shared by both the Portuguese and United States air forces since 1945.
