- 10Tucked away in the Azores islands, Horta is a popular stop for boats crossing the Atlantic. It’s easy to see why, there’s something for everyone here. If you’re looking for an outdoor adventure full of greenery, cliffs and volcanos, visit the Vulcão dos Capelinhos, where an eruption in the 1950s actually extended the island and buried a lighthouse in ash. Or take a stroll around town and visit the 16th century castle built to defend the harbor. You can also spend time on the water: fishing, scuba diving, whale watching, and water sports are all very popular here.
- 11As the heart of tourism of the Azores, Ponta Delgada offers much to see and do along with a mild climate and lush vegetation. Impressive churches and majestic white houses stand as a constant reminder of the city's illustrious past. Explore more of Ponta Delgada on a European cruise!

- 15Located on the sun-kissed coastline of Algarve, Portimão is a colorful city with a bustling waterfront and a charming city center decorated with parks and plazas. History buff? The Museum of Portimão traces human settlement in the area as far back as the Roman and Islamic periods. And if you want to be one with nature, we recommend taking a scenic boat ride up the coast and along the Rio Arade, where you will enjoy the beautiful views and hidden caves to discover.
- 16An unforgettable stop on any European cruise, with its Gothic cathedrals, medieval castle, and quaint village neighborhoods, Lisbon is Portugal's feature attraction and has been the country's capital since 1147. Wander the narrow cobblestone streets of this city at your own leisurely pace, stopping along the way at a remarkable museum or 1930's era patio café. Explore more of Lisbon on a European cruise!
