REFRAME EUROPE

Experience Europe from a new perspective when you explore aboard the National GeographicLindblad Expeditions fleet.

These aren’t your typical European itineraries—they’re expeditions, defined by discovery and guided by the unexpected. Paddle Norway’s waterfall-laced fjords, hike the windswept isles of Scotland and savor the culinary specialties of small port towns from the Azores to Austria—experiences only possible on nimble ships built for exploration.

THE AZORES REVEALED: 7 REASONS TO VISIT NOW

With basalt peaks, bubbling hot springs and a deeply rooted seafaring heritage, the Azores lie at the wild edge of Europe—an Atlantic outpost forged by fire and sea. Venture beyond the mainland to explore Portugal’s hidden isles before the rest of the world discovers their secrets.

Take in Surreal Volcanic Vistas

The Azores archipelago sits atop a geothermal hotspot at the meeting point of three tectonic plates. On hikes and walks, you’ll traverse otherworldly volcanic landscapes, from craggy lava fields and gem-like crater lakes to soaring sea cliffs and black-sand beaches.

Vibrant

Cultural Traditions

The archipelago is a rich cultural melting pot, shaped by the diverse visitors who have laid roots here over the centuries.

Discover the unique identity that has emerged here while exploring traditions like winemaking and cheesemaking, and immerse yourself in a way of life that has remained mostly unchanged for centuries.

THE AZORES

Explore the “Hawaii of Europe”

The Azores’ lush volcanic landscapes and temperate climate often earn comparisons to the Hawaiian Islands. While the natural treasures attract regional travelers, the archipelago receives far fewer visitors than its Pacific counterpart.

Uncover a Fascinating Seafaring History

During the Age of Exploration, the islands were a vital stop for repairs and resupply for ships traveling between the Old and New Worlds. Their strategic location also fueled the 19th-century whaling industry by showcasing the practice’s economic potential to foreign visitors.

PORTUGAL

A Unique Stopover

Break up your trip across the Atlantic with an extended layover off the beaten path. Flights from Boston and New York take you directly to the archipelago; following your voyage, you can continue on to places like Paris and Lisbon.

Experience Nature at Its Peak

From spring through summer, the Azores come into their own. Mild weather, clear waters and a shifting tapestry of blooms—from spring wildflowers to summer hydrangeas—define the landscape. At sea, migrating whales and dolphins add to the sense of discovery, while longer days create space for exploration that feels both immersive and unhurried.

A Leader in Sustainable Travel

Whaling was banned in the Azores in 1987; local knowledge was then used to inform whale watching, which you’ll do in the company of Azorean spotters and a marine biologist. Sustainability initiatives are now widespread here, with three islands—Corvo, Graciosa and Flores—earning recognition as UNESCO Biosphere Reserves.
