Itinerary and highlights
Sail beneath Lisbon’s iconic 25 de Abril Bridge, a striking red suspension bridge spanning the Tagus River. Opened in 1966, it connects Lisbon to Almada and offers one of the city’s most photogenic viewpoints—especially at golden hour.
Spot Lisbon’s futuristic MAAT on the Tagus waterfront—an eye-catching museum known for its sweeping curves and riverside rooftop walkway. Its bold contemporary design makes it one of the most photographed modern landmarks in the city, especially as the light reflects off the water.
See the impressive Padrão dos Descobrimentos rising on the Belém waterfront, a landmark celebrating Portugal’s Age of Discoveries. Shaped like a ship’s prow, it features Prince Henry the Navigator and other iconic figures facing the Tagus—symbolizing the voyages that connected Portugal to the world.
Admire the Belém Tower, Lisbon’s postcard-perfect fortress standing at the edge of the Tagus. Built in the early 1500s, it once guarded the city’s river entrance and welcomed ships returning from long voyages. Today it’s a UNESCO-listed symbol of Portugal’s maritime heritage and one of the best photo stops on the waterfront.
Look across the river to see Cristo Rei, the towering statue of Christ overlooking Lisbon from Almada. Inspired by Rio de Janeiro’s Christ the Redeemer, it was inaugurated in 1959 as a symbol of peace and gratitude. From its platform, the views over the Tagus, the 25 de Abril Bridge, and the city skyline are unforgettable.
Cruise past Lisbon’s grand riverside square, Praça do Comércio—also known as Terreiro do Paço—one of the city’s most iconic landmarks facing the Tagus.
