Aboard Azamara Onward with Azamara
Cruise Overview
Set on seven hills on the banks of the River Tagus, Lisbon has been the capital of Portugal since the 13th century.
It is a city famous for its majestic architecture, old wooden trams, Moorish features and more than twenty centuries of history.
Following disastrous earthquakes in the 18th century, Lisbon was rebuilt by the Marques de Pombal who created an elegant city with wide boulevards and a great riverfront and square, Praça do Comércio.
Today there are distinct modern and ancient sections, combining great shopping with culture and sightseeing in the Old Town, built on the city's terraced hillsides.
The distance between the ship and your tour vehicle may vary.
This distance is not included in the excursion grades.
Set on the five-sided island of Faial, Horta is decorated with a colourful cacophony of artworks, which have been daubed across its concrete marina by visitors from around the globe.
Left behind by sailors, they tell thrilling stories of life on the high seas.
Sitting in the midst of the vast Atlantic, 1,100 miles away from the Portuguese mainland, Horta is the ideal pit-stop for yachts traversing the Atlantic, and one of the world's most visited marinas.
The tapered, imposing peak of the Pico volcano, on neighbouring Pico Island, provides a glorious backdrop to the jostling yacht masts of the marina.
For the ultimate view, however, you'll need to head up to Faial's own volcanic treasure - Caldeira.
Look out from this colossal crater, to absorb the extraordinary views, and a demonstration of a volcano's ability to create as well as destroy.
The crater is a natural reserve that blooms with wildflowers and lush green scenery, and scattered sky-blue hydrangeas.
Flowers spread colour right across these islands - and you can learn more about the native species at the Faial Botanical Garden.
With a permanent resident population of 1,500 households, Hamilton doesn't qualify as a major metropolis.
Yet it has enough stores, restaurants, and offices to amp up the island’s energy level.
Moreover, it has a thriving international business community (centered on financial and investment services, insurance, telecommunications, global management of intellectual property, shipping, and aircraft and ship registration), which lends it a degree of sophistication seldom found in so small a center.
The central parishes cover the large area of Paget, Warwick, and Devonshire.
These parishes are much sleepier than Hamilton and provide great nature and beach respites when you tire of city life.
Convenient bus and ferry connections connect the parishes, so trips outside of Hamilton are easy and a fun way to get off the tourist track.
