Description:

Enjoy a traditional Portuguese snack of sardines, local bread, and a refreshing beer in style as you cruise along the glorious Tagus River. Admire the sights, sit back, and take a break as the crew navigates and shares the history of this stunning city.

Hop aboard your vessel at Doca de Santo Amaro and grab a seat on the deck as you make your way out the harbor. Cruising along the Tagus River, admire the red-roofed, hillside jumble of the vibrant Alfama district. Gaze up at the towering statue of Cristo Rei and rust-colored span of the Ponte 25 de Abril suspension bridge.

Work up an appetite as the briny, savory, charcoal aroma of freshly grilled sardines begins to waft from the cabin. These aren't your canned, run-of-the-mill, supermarket variety—the Portuguese eat these delectable fish fresh and aplenty, with an average of 12 pounds (5.5 kg) per person consumed each year.

Enjoy this summery snack from the sea as the Portuguese do, accompanied by local bread and a cold beer. Cruise by Lisbon’s most iconic waterfront sights before arriving at Doca do Bom Sucesso in Belém, where you disembark to explore the area at your leisure. Take a stroll along the river’s edge to see the limestone, Gothic architecture of the Belém tower and the breathtaking, UNESCO-listed Jeronimos Monastery.
