The Azores is an area that attracts large numbers of whales and adventurous sailors. Dr Sylvia Earle’s Mission Blue recognises the Azores archipelago as a Hope Spot, and many of its islands are recognised by UNESCO as places of universal value.
Our new purpose-built ship, the Sylvia Earle, is a floating ambassador for the conservation of the planet. Paying tribute to Dr. Sylvia Earle, the ship is certified 100% Carbon Neutral, with a fully equipped Citizen Science Centre, expert lectures and participative Citizen science programs, to enrich your knowledge and connection to the places we travel to.
