X805 Oriana
Have just booked our next cruise which is 18 nights to the Canaries and The Azores on 2 April.
The only ports we haven't been to are Horta, Praia de Vitoria and Fuerteventura. I'm doing a bit of research and would welcome any thoughts or ideas about these ports.
Many thanks in advance

Re: X805 Oriana
Several of the nine Azores ( Az-Hore-Rezz ) Islands are quite beautiful, albeit a tad ' rustic '.
You are going to the ' blue ' and ' lilac ' Islands, both deserve an Island tour but Horta has the most to see and do if you intend to DIY.
A useful-ish research site ...
As for Fuerteventura it's sun bathing, sun bathing or .... well, sun bathing.

Re: X805 Oriana
Thank you MOB for your reply. I have had a look at the link and one or two utube videos. Horta looks lovely.

Re: X805 Oriana
Indeed it is, there is also a maritime / whaling museum to visit if you are interested in their ' whaling ' history.

Re: X805 Oriana
Have a great cruise, Rita, and please look after Oriana for us as we get on as you get off. I'm hoping there will be no flu on board, no noro-virus and no breakdowns. Am I asking too much ?
Maureen.

Re: X805 Oriana
Thank you MOB for info about the museum. Hopefully Oriana will have had her problems sorted out and will do my part to try to keep her flu and Noro free.
