TORONTO — NĀRAT is promoting affordable independent touring packages of Portugal’s popular Azores Islands in partnership with Hertz Portugal and SATA Azores Airlines.

Azores Airlines offers year-round, nonstop service to the destination.

Package prices for fall 2022 start at $2,950 per person, double occupancy with guaranteed departures. Packages include return airfare from Toronto, domestic airfare in the Azores, Hertz car rental, accommodations in moderate to first class hotels with premium located rooms, and meals with flexible concierge reservations at participating restaurants.

Travellers will have access to historic sites with guided visits and a ‘Program Kit’ aimed at easing navigation through the islands.

While the package is priced from Toronto, other departure gateways are available including Ottawa, Montreal, Vancouver, Edmonton and Calgary. Travellers can bundle insurance with their package at time of purchase.

Clients can also extend their independent Azores tours with a visit to mainland Portugal, or book a long-stay option.

“With an abundance of natural scenery, history and culture, the Azores Islands encapsulates a bit of everything desired by Canadian travellers for that exotic European escape, and leaves most longing to come  back. We are thrilled to include this destination as part of our product offering to agents,” says Renata Snidr, NĀRAT’s Corporate Director.

NĀRAT’s Independent Azores packages are available from nine to 14 days and feature Sao Miguel, Pico and Terceira, Flores and Faial. The packages are ideal for couples, singles and families, says Snidr.
