Explore Puntarenas and see how rich this ‘Rich Coast’ really is. Maybe not in terms of its per capita wealth, but certainly in terms of its endless opulent greenery, grand views and unspoilt scenery. See the rainforest from up high, with a canopy tour through ferns, winding lianas and orchids. You can taste nature’s bounty at one of the plantations producing the country’s famously rich coffee.

Around 850 miles west of Portugal, the Azores are an archipelago of nine Portuguese-speaking islands scattered across the Atlantic waters, known for their dramatic and verdant landscapes. Portuguese navigators discovered the first of the Azores in 1432, although 2,000 Flemish settlers were among its early immigrants, and their influence can still be seen in the windmills that dot the landscape on some islands. Praia de Vitoria is located on Terceira, an island whose name means ‘third’ in reference to the order in which it was discovered.

Step aboard in Southampton & straight into that holiday feeling. No flights, no hassle. Just the excitement of the days ahead and the promise of memorable moment.
