Experiences and services enjoyed

Alexandre R.
A perfect experience. My whole family was delighted with the friendly and professional Lilly and the captain. Pleasant and entertaining conversations throughout the cruise. Excellent Portuguese buffet and great selection of drinks.
Greg R.
Amazing experience with Philippe and Jose. We thought about taking one of the 'regular' cruises down at the waterfront but went out on a limb to book one a fair walk away and a little more expensive. It was worth every penny and every step of the walk. I would do it again in a heartbeat.
