Activity options vary depending on destination and operator. Activity level is determined by the range and intensity of activities you choose to participate in. Discuss with your Trip Planner which options are best for you.
Barbados’ wild and rugged east coast features secluded beaches with red sands, said to have blown across the Atlantic from the Sahara. As the easternmost island of the Caribbean, Barbados feels like it connects the Old World of Africa to the New World. Its capital, Bridgetown, is a city of contrasts. Fun fact: George Washington once stayed here! Trafalgar Square reflects the island’s British heritage, where traditions like cricket and high tea blend with the relaxed, rum-loving island lifestyle.
Star Clippers ships provide a classic and stylish way to explore the world. Experience the wind in the sails as it smoothly carries you to stunning destinations. Onboard, you can unwind on a sun lounger or take a dip in one of the top deck pools. For adventure seekers, there’s the chance to climb the rigging or even steer the ship. If you prefer indoor activities, you can explore the ship’s cozy lounges, a serene library, and, on the Royal Clipper, a rejuvenating spa.
The Azores have long played host to transatlantic yachtsmen, traders, and explorers. It stands on the pretty green and fertile island of Sao Miguel. 16th and 17th-century economic growth saw the construction of lavish palaces and churches, many still surviving.
The ship offers a traditional and elegant way to see the world. Feel the wind fill the sails and gently carry you from one gorgeous destination to the next. During your time on board, you can choose to relax on a sun lounger or cool off in one of the pools on the top deck, while more adventurous passengers may enjoy the opportunity to climb the rigging or even have a go at steering the ship. Alternatively, you can wander the interior areas of the ship and discover relaxing lounges, a revitalizing spa (Royal Clipper only) and a peaceful library.
Day 17: Lisbon, Portugal | Disembark

The capital of Portugal since its conquest from the Moors in 1147, Lisbon is a legendary city with over 20 centuries of history. Spreading out along the right bank of the Tagus, its downtown, the Baixa, is located in the 18th-century area around Rossio. The Alfama, one of the oldest quarters in Lisboa, still retains much of its original layout since it largely survived the earthquake of 1755.

Kate was great to work with in the planning stage. She was prompt, helpful, and efficient. Our tour guide, Edwin, was knowledgeable and passionate. We were very happy to have traveled with Adventure Life, it made the trip easy and a true pleasure. We could concentrate on enjoying the experience rather than the details of travel.
Adventure Life went above and beyond to care for all our travel needs!!! From the flights, to the accommodations, the tours, the tour guides, the transfers, the scheduling, everything was top notch and our minds were blown away!! It was so nice to be able to travel to another country that we’d never been to before and have every detail laid out for us!! No stress, no searching where to go, what to do, fighting with tourist crowds, getting rental cars, etc…..,it was all done for us, very organized and worth every penny!! We will definitely use Adventure Life for our future travel plans!!! A+++

Claudia and Ghezzel are extremely professional, courteous, patient and knowledgeable. We booked a cruise with Claudia but within 24 hrs we wanted to switch to another cruise, fortunately with the same company. The transition was executed flawlessly including reserving the cabins we wanted. Ghezzel was working in the background and picked up when Claudia left for
vacation. There was no difference in the great service. I'd give the team 10 stars if it was possible.

Adventure Life couldn’t have provided a better travel experience, from the start of planning through the entire trip itself. The agents were very helpful and quickly responsive to our questions and needs. We were well taken care of and the trip was smooth sailing, both literally and figuratively. The cruise line, the hotel, and the extra excursions that Adventure Life provided were superb and without flaws. The price was reasonable when we compared the planned trip to what was offered by others. We would highly recommend both Adventure Life and Emerald Cruise Line to anyone interested in an enjoyable, relaxing, and informative travel experience.
