Sobre a viagem
As nossas viagens aos Açores em 2023 revelaram-se tão populares que temos em vista seguir um itinerário semelhante ao visitarmos este impressionante arquipélago vulcânico no meio do Atlântico. As distâncias são curtas, o que deixa muito tempo para explorar as ilhas, mas começamos com uma travessia de 36 horas de São Miguel até às ilhas centrais do Faial e da Terceira.
Começamos a nossa viagem na cosmopolita cidade atlântica de Ponta Delgada, virada para o exterior, com uma economia próspera e uma cultura animada. Se o tempo permitir, planeie chegar cedo e explore a ilha.
Com uma história de mais de cinco séculos, Ponta Delgada é uma cidade multifacetada onde a tradição vive de mãos dadas com o presente. Não deixe de visitar a Igreja de São Sebastião, a Igreja de São Pedro, a Igreja São José e o Convento e Capela de Nossa Senhora da Esperança. A oeste, encontram-se as lagoas vulcânicas das Sete Cidades, um testemunho do passado ardente da ilha e o monumento natural mais reconhecido dos Açores.
À medida que navegamos para oeste, mantemos os olhos abertos para os cachalotes que caçam lulas gigantes nos canais profundos e há sempre a possibilidade de avistar baleias azuis, baleias comuns e baleias sei. Os roazes, os golfinhos comuns e os malhados do Atlântico também são comuns nesta altura do ano.
Entramos no Canal de São Jorge sob o imponente Monte Pico que domina o horizonte. Uma paragem no vizinho Faial proporciona a oportunidade de visitar a Horta e o famoso Peter's Café Sport bar, frequentado por iatistas desde 1918. Maravilhe-se com o caleidoscópio de cores que adorna a marina, uma tela com séculos de idade pintada por marinheiros de todo o mundo que deixaram a sua marca neste paraíso marítimo, e mergulhe no fascinante mundo dos gigantes marinhos no Museu da Baleia, um lembrete da necessidade de proteger este frágil ecossistema.
Terminamos a nossa viagem na ilha Terceira, onde atracamos em Angra do Heroísmo, cidade património mundial da UNESCO e mais antiga dos Açores, com o seu forte do século XVI e centro renascentista. Desembarcamos depois de um sumptuoso churrasco no convés e de uma noite de celebrações com os companheiros de bordo. Se tiver tempo, considere visitar o Algar do Carvão com a sua chaminé vulcânica de 90 metros de profundidade ou as vinhas da ilha e as piscinas de lava nos Biscoitos.
Tempo:
Em agosto, os Açores gozam de um clima agradável, caracterizado por temperaturas amenas e brisas marítimas suaves. Esperam-se temperaturas diurnas médias de 24 °C, ideais tanto para velejar como para a exploração em terra.

of the ship added a unique touch to our trip.
Agustin, Italy
The trip between Lisbon and Funchal was really exceptional thanks to the kindness and professionalism of the crew that was always available to answer all our requests. A trip far too short.
It was my first cruise aboard Santa Maria Manuela but it will certainly not be the last.
Catherine - France
It was a wonderful journey. The ship is beautiful and in a perfect condition, we felt
comfortable at any time, thanks to the gentle team. The meals were very tasteful (thanks to
the cook!).
Katrin - Holland
We want to say THANK YOU to all the crew they all were so helpful. Nothing was too much
trouble. If the world would follow Santa Maria Manuela’s example, we would all live in a
better place.
Peter & Ron, UK
It was obvious that the crew was very capable of doing everything without the help of the passengers, but I loved that they wanted us to be involved and gave us tasks that we could do. It is also evident how important safety on board is and I was impressed to see all of the crew members in harnesses and helmets whenever they were in slightly precarious positions preparing a sail to be raised or fixing something.
Sailwiz – Spain
The trip was absolutely incredible. I am extremely impressed with the ship and the crew. I felt very at home on board and the crew was so kind, helpful and knowledgeable. I feel like I learned so much about the ship and navigation and I know many of the other passengers feel the same. I truly enjoyed the trip and hope that I will go aboard again.
Julia – USA
My friends and familly are all '50 shades of green' with envy. Thankyou from Andrew and me to you and the crew for an experience of a lifetime.
Gordon - Scotland
As for the trip to Madeira was the best experiences I have had and I take the opportunity to congratulate your team and crew who are fantastic ...

We really enjoyed our Madeira-Tenerife crossing onboard SMM. Great crew, fantastic downwind sailing, pleasant ‘guests’.
Pierre - France
I can't imagine the Santa Maria Manuela having a bigger fan than me. It was a remarkable experience and I really enjoyed getting to know the crew as well as all of the passengers. It was a great group of people to spend 6 days with.
Sailwiz - Spain
The crew took good care of us, I just hope they enjoyed the trip as much as we did. Could not have been any better.
Irmgard – Germany
Without a doubt, this year the best experience I had was being on board Santa Maria Manuela. The days on board were extraordinary. Crew 5⭐
