About Ponta Delgada, Azores
Ponta Delgada, the largest city of the Azores, is a refreshing stop on the long Atlantic voyage, offering weary sailors a warm welcome. Situated 1,100 miles from mainland Portugal, the city is a gateway to stunning volcanic landscapes and the lush, green beauty of São Miguel Island. During summer, the island's famous hydrangeas bloom, adding vibrant colour to the scenery. The Church of São José, with its striking black-and-white façade, greets visitors as they explore the city, while the local markets offer a chance to sample tropical pineapples, tea, and coffee beans unique to the Azores. As the largest city, Ponta Delgada boasts excellent seafood restaurants and plenty of shopping opportunities. Beyond the city, the volcanic origins of the island are apparent, with breathtaking spots like Caldeira das Sete Cidades, where you can hike around the crater lake and enjoy sweeping views of verdant cliffs and the Atlantic horizon. Lagoa de Fogo offers even more awe-inspiring vistas.
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the ‘Worry-Free Shore Excursion’ on some of the excursions?
Viator’s Worry-Free Shore Excursion policy means that if your tour runs late and you miss your ship, they’ll arrange transport to the next port at no additional cost to you. This offer applies only to shore excursions specifically marked with the ‘Worry-Free’ badge on Viator. When you use FindMyExcursions, we help match you with these eligible tours where available, so you can book with confidence knowing you're covered if unexpected delays occur.

What are the risks of booking with third-party providers?
When you book excursions independently (i.e., outside of the cruise line), you’re responsible for managing your time ashore. If you miss the ship’s departure, the cruise will not wait, and you’ll have to make your own way to the next port.
That’s why FindMyExcursions only features tours that fit within your port timings, with enough buffer to get you back in good time. Many also offer port pick-up/drop-off for added convenience and peace of mind. You get all the flexibility of third-party booking, with smart, cruise-specific filtering built in.
Will I get a refund if the ship doesn’t dock or our itinerary changes?
If your ship is unable to dock or your itinerary changes at short notice, most tour providers on Viator offer a full refund if you cancel at least 24 hours in advance. However, cancellations within 24 hours usually aren't refundable. We recommend checking each tour’s cancellation policy before booking, as they can vary. Also, having comprehensive cruise travel insurance is key. Some policies may cover missed ports or excursions, but this usually depends on the circumstances and how much notice the cruise line provided. We’re not qualified to offer legal or financial advice so always check the fine print of your policy or speak to your insurer for specifics.
