In 2026, Santa Maria Manuela will take part in three major maritime festivals celebrating the sea, sailing traditions, and port life:
Each festival offers an authentic atmosphere by the sea, where historic ships gather, parades fill the harbor, and visitors can explore traditional crafts, local music, and regional cuisine.
Traveling to or from these festivals aboard the Santa Maria Manuela is a unique way to experience them. Our guests can enjoy the sailing voyage itself while arriving into or departing from the heart of the celebrations. It’s an opportunity to meet other sea enthusiasts, visit classic ships, and take part in the maritime spirit that defines each city.
Your journey with Santa Maria Manuela doesn’t end when you reach port; it continues among the people, ships, and stories that make these festivals truly special.
