What they say about our New Year's Eve

Tripadvisor · Jan 2024
Unforgettable experience on the Tagus with a spectacular atmosphere!
“An unforgettable way to start the year! Excellent organisation, atmosphere and planning: the views throughout the trip were incredible, with lots of photos taken. A special thanks to Manuel Pais! He kept the party lively at all times, with a great atmosphere from the whole team.”

“Very nice cruise with buffet and free-flowing drinks. The boat positioned itself in the middle of the Tagus at the moment of Lisbon's fireworks. The view was wonderful, taking in the whole of Lisbon's bay with several firework displays at once. The cruise also lets you see the monuments from another angle (the 25 de Abril bridge, Cristo Rei, etc.). I highly recommend this experience.”

“The boat had two decks: an upper one, open but sheltered, and a lower one fully covered. The food was very varied: cured meats, vegetable ravioli, soups, chestnuts, individual desserts, rice salads. On the upper deck there was music and an open bar: they made any cocktail you wanted. At midnight everyone was handed a glass of sparkling wine and a little bag of lucky grapes. It was a lovely experience. Departure and arrival were punctual and the staff always smiling and pleasant.”
