The 205-metre-high Monte Brasil, towering over Angra do Heroismo, offers fantastic views of the city and the surrounding scenery. Then there’s hard-to-reach Faial Island, a wonderland of volcanic craters, tranquil lakes and emerald green valleys. Horta is your starting point for discovering the island’s natural highlights, such as the magnificent Capelinhos Volcano. The Capelinhos is Faial’s most famous landmark and can be seen in all its striking glory on a scenic island drive or exhilarating 4x4 adventure. Within Horta, the historic city centre and picturesque marina are also well worth exploring.
Incredible volcanic wonders await on São Miguel Island too. Ponta Delgada is your gateway to the extinct Sete Cidades Volcano, where a 13-kilometre-wide crater and colourful lakes create an astonishing scene. Elsewhere there’s Terra Nosta Park, a haven of gorgeous gardens, geo-thermal pools and dense woodlands that are home to stunning endemic flora. After your Azorean adventure you’ll head to Madeira for the very special ‘Four Fred.’s in Funchal’ event. You’ll dock alongside Braemar, Balmoral and Boudicca and be part of a memorable day of celebration shared with crew and fellow guests from all four ocean-going ships in the Fred. Olsen fleet. You can enjoy fantastic live entertainment; tuck-in to delicious, specially prepared menus; and even visit the other ships in the fleet during this simply unforgettable occasion. Away from all the festivity, there are chances to explore Madeira’s botanical gardens and picturesque walking trails too.
