Volcanos & Whales of the Remote Azores

Friday 14th May 2027 - Friday 28th May 2027

15 Days

From £2,129

Blending volcanic wonders, ocean wildlife and lush scenery, this adventure takes you to Portugal’s Atlantic islands with a taste of the mainland, balanced by several days at sea to fully embrace life on board. In the remote Azores, marvel at the crater lakes of Sete Cidades, discover Parque Terra Nostra’s steaming thermal pools, or descend into the ancient Algar do Carvão, one of the only volcanoes in the world you can enter on foot. May is peak whale season, with optional tours offering close encounters and ORCA experts on board to guide sightings. Beyond the Azores, an overnight stay in Madeira brings fragrant gardens and the Monte cable car, while Matosinhos leads to Porto’s tiled streets, riverside cafés and famed Port wine cellars.

YOUR SHIP

BOREALIS

Bearing a name that inspires thoughts of the Aurora Borealis, the elegant Borealis proudly connects with Fred Olsen’s Norwegian heritage. Stylish, spacious and comfortable, with capacity for fewer than 1,400 guests, she is in keeping with their commitment in offering a more traditional style of cruising. But while Borealis’ capacity is smaller than many cruise vessels, she is still one of the largest ships in the Fred Olsen fleet. On board you will find you are never overcrowded. There is always ample room in which to indulge yourself in the stylish dining venues, enjoy a glass of your favourite tipple and fantastic entertainment at the bars, lounges and theatres, and while away the hours by the all-season pool.
