Trip description:
The voyage begins in Lisbon, a city of explorers with deeply rooted seafaring tradition.
Before embarking, guests can explore the historic Alfama district or stroll along the banks of the Tagus.
Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, is a city full of history and special character.
The winding, narrow lanes of the old town immediately draw you in, and with a bit of luck you'll hear the sound of fado drifting out from small taverns.
The tiles – those colourful azulejos – tell stories from the past as they adorn walls and buildings.
Take the time to visit the Belém Tower and the Jerónimos Monastery.
Both are UNESCO World Heritage Sites and are closely linked to Portugal's maritime history.
Standing before these monuments and thinking back to the Age of Discovery, you can almost feel the weight of the centuries.
The captain welcomes you "Welcome aboard the Santa Maria Manuela!"
Relaxed time in the evenings on board
Hungry? Head to a local bakery and get yourself a pastel de nata.
Trust us: it's a treat you'll still be thinking about long after you've left.
If you have time, walk up to the Miradouro da Senhora do Monte – one of the best views in the city awaits you there.
The rooftops, the Tagus, the special play of light – the sight is simply breathtaking.
Lisbon's blend of old and new makes the city absolutely worth seeing. Wander through the neighbourhoods, have a coffee and soak up the sun.
At sea, the Santa Maria Manuela sets course southwards, following the Iberian coast past the golden cliffs and whitewashed towns of the Algarve.
During the passage, the crew invites you to take an active part in sailing the ship: hoist and trim the sails, take the helm, attend knot-tying workshops or even climb the mast.
Whether you want to get hands-on or prefer to relax and watch the activity – there's room on board for active learning as well as quiet moments of reflection.
The voyage ends in Málaga, where the light of the Mediterranean greets you.
The city is known for its Moorish heritage and lively streets – a place full of colour and character.
In Málaga, the heart of Spain's Costa del Sol, a visit to the historic Alcazaba is an absolute must.
This Moorish fortress, with its lush gardens and impressive views over the city and harbour, offers an insight into the region's rich history.
Directly below, the Roman theatre lends another facet of ancient charm to Málaga's cultural wealth.
The bustling harbour district "Muelle Uno" is a lively place to relax over a drink, browse through boutiques or let your gaze drift across the Mediterranean.
Art lovers shouldn't miss the Picasso Museum, dedicated to the city's most famous son.
For beach lovers, Málaga's sun-blessed stretches of coast – such as Playa de la Malagueta – are the ideal spot for a relaxing afternoon.
Don't forget to enjoy the local cuisine either: "Espeto de sardinas" – sardines grilled on the beach – offer an authentic foretaste of Andalusia's flavours.
weather conditions
From mid to late March, temperatures along the route typically range between 16 °C and 22 °C.
Expect a mix of sunny and cloudy days, with occasional showers and moderate winds – especially at sea – possible.
As mornings and evenings can still be cool, we recommend bringing clothing in layers, including a warm jumper, a lightweight waterproof jacket and comfortable clothing that can adapt to changing conditions.
Embrace the adventure of traditional seafaring and experience a very special sailing voyage aboard the "Santa Maria Manuela"!
And if you have any questions: we look forward to hearing from you 🙂
