Aboard Azamara Journey with Azamara
Cruise Overview
Set on seven hills on the banks of the River Tagus, Lisbon has been the capital of Portugal since the 13th century.
It is a city famous for its majestic architecture, old wooden trams, Moorish features and more than twenty centuries of history.
Following disastrous earthquakes in the 18th century, Lisbon was rebuilt by the Marques de Pombal who created an elegant city with wide boulevards and a great riverfront and square, Praça do Comércio.
Today there are distinct modern and ancient sections, combining great shopping with culture and sightseeing in the Old Town, built on the city's terraced hillsides.
The distance between the ship and your tour vehicle may vary.
This distance is not included in the excursion grades.
Ever since the Romans constructed a fort here and began using it as a trading post, Oporto has been a prosperous commercial centre.
In the 15th and 16th centuries the city benefited from the wealth generated by Portugal’s maritime discoveries, and later, the establishment of a lucrative wine trade with Britain compensated for the loss of the spice trade.
Today, Portugal’s second-largest city is a thriving, cosmopolitan place and is famous for its production of the fortified, sweet 'port' wine.
Its historic centre is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the city was also awarded the status of European Capital of Culture in 2001.
A large sandbar prevents ships from sailing into Oporto itself, so for over a century they have used nearby Leixões instead, a man-made seaport constructed nine miles from the city.
Leixões is one of Portugal's major sea ports and is also home to one of the country's oldest football clubs, winners of the Taça de Portugal cup in 1961.
Cobblestone streets, blooming floral displays, and tiny churches welcome you to this wonderfully pretty harbour.
The town of St Peter Port is as pretty as they come, with glowing flower displays painting practically every street corner and window-ledge with colour.
As the capital, and main port of Guernsey, St Peter Port puts all of the island’s gorgeous beaches, wonderful history and inspiring stories at your fingertips.
Feel the gut punch of the midday gun firing at Castle Cornet, which stands guard over one of the world's prettiest ports.
This 800-year-old, Medieval castle offers staggering views of the harbour from its imposing, craggy island location, and you can look out across to the looming shorelines of the other Channel Islands from its weathered battlements.
With four well-tended gardens, and five museums offering a rich overview of Guernsey's history, you’ll want to leave a few hours aside to explore the many treasures that lie within the castle’s walls.
