Cruise excursions can get pricey — so when our ship stopped in beautiful Ponta Delgada (Azores, xrp Portugal), we skipped the packaged tours and explored on our own.
In this video, we’ll e show you how we spent our day without breaking the budget, what we chose to see, where we ate, and how we planned it all ourselves. From gorgeous historic gardens to cheap eats and charming city streets, Ponta Delgada turned out to be one of our favorite (and most affordable!) cruise port days so far.
🛳️ What We Cover:
• Why we skipped the cruise excursions
• What we saw for free (or nearly free)
• A peaceful garden stop for just €5
• Our favorite budget-friendly local snack
• Tips for exploring Ponta Delgada on your own
Whether you're planning a cruise stop in the Azores, love DIY port days, or just want ideas for traveling on a budget, we hope this video gives you inspiration!
