#VOR - Lisbon will again feature in the Volvo Ocean Race route after striking a two-race deal with organisers.
The Portuguese capital - which made its VOR debut in last year's edition of the race, hosting the start of the penultimate leg - will again welcome the VOR fleet in 2015 after the North Atlantic crossing leg from Newport in Rhode Island, and will repeat the celebrations in 2018.
"What Lisbon achieved in the last race was remarkable when you think that the city was making its debut," said VOR COO Tom Touber.
Lisbon is the eighth host port to be announced for the 12th edition of the round-the-world yacht challenge, following the return of Abu Dhabi to the calendar a few weeks ago.
