We started the cruise in the rain (recommend bringing raincoats just in case) but it cleared up and ended with a beautiful sunset! Even while it was raining, Vasco & Fernando kept the energy high by offering plenty of wine and telling us about Portugal's history. Our glasses were never empty! It was a fun way to see Lisbon (even when super tired from traveling) and figure out what sights we wanted to explore more on our trip. Highly recommend this cruise -- Vasco & Fernando really made it a memorable experience!”

It was super relaxing and beautiful to see all the sights at sunset accompanied by Portuguese jazz! Our hosts also took time to tell us about some sights. We sat on a couch which was comfortable but our personal preference is a larger vessel so you can walk around and change positions more easily. Nonetheless this cruise is definitely a must see and do. Thanks for a wonderful relaxing and beautiful evening!”
