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.

Believed to be the oldest town on the Iberian Peninsula, the Andalusian port of Cádiz enjoys a stunning location at the edge of a six-mile promontory.
The town itself, with 3,000 years of history, is characterised by pretty white houses with balconies often adorned with colourful flowers.
As you wander around be sure to take a stroll through the sizeable Plaza de Espãna, with its large monument dedicated to the first Spanish constitution, which was signed here in 1812.
Cádiz has two pleasant seafront promenades which boast fine views of the Atlantic Ocean, and has a lovely park, the Parque Genoves, located close to the sea with an open-air theatre and attractive palm garden.
Also notable is the neo-Classical cathedral, capped by a golden dome.
