Portugal is geographically well located for cruises that are departing to the Mediterranean Sea or to Northern Europe, and is also a port of call for transatlantic cruises. Lisboa, Porto and Portimão are Portugal’s mainland ports of call. Lisboa and Porto serve bigger ships while Portimão, in the Algarve, serves smaller ships. The island of Madeira is also a popular cruise destination for cruises traveling to the Canary Islands as well as the Caribbean. Cruises can be taken from any of these ports. Cruise companies offering cruises that include a stop in Portugal are: Celebrity Cruises, Costa Cruises, Crystal Cruises, Holland America Line, MSC Italian Cruises, Oceania Cruises, Orient Lines, Peter Deilmann Cruises, Princess Cruises, Radisson Seven Seas, SeaDream Yacht Club, Silversea Cruises, Windstar Cruises and Royal Caribbean Intl.
Visitors can tour Portugal before or after their cruise. The Azores islands also offer great sea cruising. Ponta Delgada in the island of S. Miguel is the main port of call in the islands, followed by Praia da Victória in the Island of Terceira, and Horta. Many transatlantic routes stop in the islands.
