The cruise was a very nice way to unwind from an overseas flight and enjoy a sunset with some wine and snacks.

Great ride and snacks. I wish there were fewer people. There is plenty of room, but everyone ants to be on the top deck. Get there early if you want a good seat!
It’s not a sunset cruise. We left late and maybe had 20 min of light. The “snacks” are soooo bad. Olives, peanuts??, bread, a plastic pack of cherry jam??, and chocolate cake??
It was a terrible experience and we ended up not going and asking for a refund. You do not advertise that you have reserved seating for tour groups. We stood in line for 45 minutes and then two tour groups come walking up skipping everybody in the line people were upset not to mention the Boat left after sunset so what was the point? It wasn’t a sunset cruise that’s why we left. It left almost at dark so no one was gonna see a sunset. I have asked for a refund and I would not recommend it to anyone because you need to advertise that seats to reserved.
We have been waiting in the queue for the Cruise 19:10 sunset cruise. It is now 19:26, and we are still waiting to board. On top of this, two groups arrived after us and were allowed to board before us. The cruise was advertised as a sunset cruise, but at this point there is no sunset to see at all. This is very disappointing, especially considering the waiting time and the fact that other groups were allowed to board before us.
If you want your included one wine each you need to be sure you get it early because they run out of the included individual.bottles and then you have to buy a half bottle. Sunset would have been better if they departed at the schedules 7.10 but leaving at 7.35 meant your view of the sunset was through building sites cranes. Snacks were olives and peanuts and bread. Nice to have with wines. Maybe something savory to go on the bread you would think, hummus or cheese, no. What was in the little packets? Butter and jam! And to follow a piece of cheesecake. Two hours was too long particularly when it was dark for so much of it. Second rate experience
Beautiful ride with great photo ops! Get in line early so you can have the top deck. Bring a sweater!
It’s not very well done. Boat was late and we almost missed sunset. Drinks were cheap and warm. Snacks were bread and cocktail peanuts. Boat is old, needs TlLC and a bit dirty. Staff were nice but this is definitely not worth spending any money on. Only space for about 50 people on the second level and if you are not early you will not get a sport. A queue was starting to line up 1 hour before the cruise. What a waste of time.
The experience was disappointing. Only the persons who got on the boat first in the queue managed to sit outside and see the views the remaining people had to sit inside. The boat was very hot. The wine was nice as they served local wine however the snacks included nuts, bread and a piece of cake. Half way through the tour I was then told about the blue cruise app which I could learn about the sights.
It was extremely hot. The upper deck of the boat fills up only holding 52 people. The rest of the boat none of the windows were not opened there was no ac so it was miserable. Would not recommend.
Great tour with friendly and professional crew. We enjoyed many amazing monuments and views from the city
We were so excited about this cruise! The boat was big with plenty of seating and the views were nice. That's about all the good things I can say. The description mentions a bottle of wine and snacks included. There are many cruises with the same feature but we booked this one because we liked the look. When we arrived we were given a snack plate and they were serving orange juice. We had to go to the bar if we wanted an alcoholic beverage. When we went to claim our wine on this 2hr long ride, we were told they ran out of from the group before and could only offer beer, water, or juice. This might be an acceptable alternative for some, but as a person who doesn't drink beer and booked the cruise specifically for the promise of wine, this was disappointing. They made no mention of this before we embarked, so we were essentially being held hostage on a boat that was not delivering on the experience that they promised. When asked if they would offer a complimentary drink or any other alternative, they were completely inflexible. In fact, they DID have wine, but they did not want to offer it complimentary (the wine was not fancy) so they made us purchase these eerily similar bottles of wine mentioned in the description. The whole experience was really disappointing and unfair. If they were honest about what they could deliver, we would have picked another boat. Instead, we had to pay more to have the experience we wanted even though it was supposed to be included. The boat has tripping hazards everywhere and it was very crowded. I would not recommend this boat unfortunately.
Meeting point was unsure: address was clear but there is three ports, A-B-C, and continous action on dock made unsure feeling if we were on rigth place. Announced cruise start time was missed almost a half hour due to ship docked over 15 minutes late. Cruise itself was fine if industrial view of Lisbon is your interest. Wine and snack secton of cruise... selection of water, juice, or white wine. If cruise is sunset cruise with wine and white wine is my pet hate.
Excellent service. Even if i didn't have a physical ticket,the staff were amazing when I showed them a proove of email of purchase .
Food, drink and atmosphere was spot on. Everything was well organised and we got wonderful sunset views as promised
The stuff was very nice, the windows don’t open, the furniture a little bit dirty and the carpet looked old and super dirty. The price was very good for what you get.
This sunset cruise is value for money, we had a fabulous time & gr8 viewing from the top deck of the boat. Thoroughly recommend 👌
Beautiful scenery and comfortable seating although a little music or some commentary would have been appreciated. The tour was way too quiet.
there was only 1 wine option- red. which isnt a big deal but the advertising says otherwise. if you’re traveling with family— by any means
Get there early so you can a good view. Sit at the top. It does get crowed at the the top pretty fast. Crew members where helpful
Very good and entertaining. We enjoyed the tour. They gave us very good drinks and snacks. Thanks a lot!
Arrive early if you want the top desk or middle desk. Lower desk isn't good as you can't see much especially if windows aren't clean. Also very unclear which boat we were supposed to queue up for as there were several departing at the same time.
Beautiful boat ride with three floors. Staff were nice and brought drinks and light snacks. Only disadvantage to the boat ride is it has limited spaces to see the views on the beach on the top deck which is the only way to see the views. Some passengers were hogging chairs to put their items on and not letting people sit which is something that could have been addressed by staff.
Really good if you board first, if you are late in the queue you wont get a good seat… but overall is nice drink and nice snacks, it is lovely boat and the views are wonderful I do 100% recommend this tour
The worker at the port said my boat isn’t there so I had to get out of line (I was at the front), go to the ticket counter and the put me on a different boat. It seemed bigger and impersonal. The waiter was great who served me wine and snacks . No tour guide voice-overs but I was able to google as I watched. It was fine… I should of paid more for next level.
The boat was nice but the audio was difficult to keep with what we passed. I thought a real guide would be better but it was very nice and saw things that you can not see on land.
The views from the river were amazing and the sunset was definitely the highlight of the experience. There is a self-guided audio tour through an app should you need it. The snacks provided were fairly basic, and the bread seemed a little stale. The top deck also became very windy (just a heads up) but the view from the middle deck were just as good. That said, this isn't an expensive excursion, so it's important to keep expectations realistic. If you're looking for a budget-friendly way to get out on the water and enjoy some nice views, it does the job. Just don't go expecting a luxury or 5-star experience.
The staff was very friendly. If you have a nut allergy be careful with the desserts they serve on board and inform the staff. It gets windy out on the river.
Did the sunset cruise and had wonderful time! Depending where you sit you might not see the sun set.
Nice cruising on the Tagus river sipping wine( my choice ) and got some snacks. Stepping closer to the monuments to be photographed and experienced a wonderful sunset from far.
If you're here for a luxury cruise, this is not it. However, take the bad reviews with a grain of salt. When have you ever paid $36 dollars for a 2+hour ride somewhere? The people complaining about cost are just looking for something to complain about. The boat was on time. It was older, but clean. Definitely sit on a back corner on top or mid level back, the views are the least obstructed. Be patient, they will bring you your drink and snack, you dont have to rush to the bar (unless you want to buy something). The ride was peaceful, the views were beautiful, and the sunset with the bridge was stunning. We were exhausted from travel and wanted an easy way to take in some sights, and this was the right choice. Definitely recommend.
Get in line early so you can get a spot on the outside deck. Overall, was a good experience for a good price.
Snacks and service were great. Sights were nice. We spent 30 mins not being able to dock. I understand it’s not supposed to be guided but it would be nice if at the very least the site was pointed out. I missed 2 of the sites. Not sure if there is a speaker system to be able to do this. Lounge cushions could use a cleaning or replacement.
Smooth sailing and a delightful evening on the river with amazing views of the city skyline. Colleen
There is nothing wrong with tour, just not five stars. You are on a large three level boat, similar to a ferry. There is no narration, but there is a downloadable tour. The tour is very non-personal. Just a big boat of people. The steward serving our snacks and wine was very nice and helpful. The boat crew is also good. If what you are looking for is a good boat to take you out for awesome shots of the sunset in Lisbonz this is the perfect cruise for you. They views are amazing and the captain skillfully provides you a slow and perfectly guides tour to allow you to get multiple shots. The bottom level has a full bar and food. It is also fully enclosed and had comfortable couches and fluffy chairs to sit. The second level is partially enclosed, open on part of the roof. The top is fully open. If you are looking for smaller ship/ boat, with more personal interaction choose another tour.
Great views of the sites and the wine/snacks are lovely, but beware the mad dash for the upstairs sundeck chairs if you’re doing a sunset cruise
This is one of the worst experiences as there was no Coordination between the company that actually operates and the staff who run the cruise…for someone who has travelled to all the continents except Antarctica I would rate this the worst.
It was a lovely evening on the river. The boat was very comfortable, the staff was excellent, the drinks and snacks were perfect.
Excellent way to see the sunset and Lisbon from the water. The Christ the King monument, Golden Gate Bridge and Belem Tower are beautiful. The drink and snacks were delicious. Excellent value for a great evening!
The boat was nice and service was really good. The link to listen to the audio guide did not work me or my husband the entire time, however.
It was a nice boat ride and the staff were very sweet however we weren’t able to see much because the windows were very dirty.
Sunset was beautiful. Snacks were great. Very windy but you can't control that. Staff on board were very accommodating and friendly!!
Even though weather was drizzly rain at the beginning of cruise still excellent viewing of Lisbon. No sunset due to clouds but excellent viewing of evening lights in Lisbon.
Staff was great, snacks were good, chairs need to be inspected and some replaced. My husband is of average weight, and the two legs on the right side of his chair collapsed when we hit a big wave. Not used to smoking being allowed outdoors on boats and while dining outdoors so that was a drawback for us when we had 2 people smoking at the same time and one pretty consistently throughout the cruise. I recommend planning to sit indoors right when you board if that bothers you or all the good seats will be gone by the time you come indoors. The audio wasn't playing at the correct monuments with the location/gps turned on. It was also frustrating that you couldn't listen to the audio and take a picture at the same time. When returning to the audio after taking a picture it wouldn't continue where it left off.
The trip is nice - sunset was a great time to go to see the beauty of the city. Get to the ticket booth and online early for best options for seating up top. We got there at 650pm for what we thought was a 710 departure but luckily turns out that that was the boarding time. The queue by that time was quite long (it was Easter weeks though). With the ticket you get a choice of a small Bottle of red or white wine or a beer or OJ or soft drink. If you want anything more it’s available for purchase. The bartenders were great and very friendly. They do bring out a plate of nuts olives bread and spreadable cheese and amazing dessert. Like everything in Lisbon they move of Portuguese time :). So boarding didn’t start until about 7:20 and we didn’t arrive back to shore yet and it’s 9:14pm. One note plenty of restrooms on board and really nice couches down on the two lowe decks - plenty of seating for all guests - just limited up top. So get there early for your seat choice. Also of note the bar is open right when you board so take advantage before everyone else does.
If you’re looking for a guided tour with a fancy party, this isn’t the trip for you. However, if you are looking for a relaxing trip, some snacks and a beautiful sunset, this was perfect. I read a lot of disappointed reviews, but most of them were, my view, bad timing, bad weather. We had no regrets doing this.
This is a really great cruise. The location is excellent. Prior to the cruise you can sit by the shore and view the sand sculptures created by locals. After the cruise it is easy to select a great place to dine. The subway is walking distance and so are several trams. The cruise itself was amazing. To see the sunset while in the boat is an awesome experience. The drinks and snacks were excellent. The boat itself was very comfortable.
Our experience was very boring and underwhelming. We did go in January, so that is a big factor. However, the cruise is two hours and it was completely dark by the middle so we were unable to see the attractions. They also closed the windows and doors halfway through which made getting pictures and viewing not good. And the snacks were underwhelming compared to what is advertised. Overall, not a great excursion for the off season.
Sad experience and very expensive for what was provided. The boat was a bit dated clean but shabby ………………
Really enjoyable sunset cruise, snacks were substantial & decent variety. The ticket says 16.40 but the when you get the tickets at the desk you are told the boat doesn’t leave until 17.00 which is quite a big time difference. You are also told you can download the audio guide when on the boat but there is no WiFi, cruise was still enjoyable despite not having the audio guide as the scenery is enough.
