DAY 1

Upon arrival at Lisbon Humberto Delgado Airport (LIS) you will be greeted and transferred to your hotel. Check-in at the hotel is available from 3:00pm. Your elegant hotel is located in the heart of Lisbon, close to boutique shops, historic sites, and a wide range of restaurants and cafés.

Settle in and take some time to relax after your journey as the day is at leisure. Meals are on your own.

A hospitality desk will be available at the hotel (location and time to be advised) to assist with questions and provide recommendations for area sightseeing.

DAY 2

The day starts with a hearty breakfast at the hotel before embarking on a thematic journey following the footsteps of the Templars. This carefully curated itinerary blends history, culture, and breathtaking landscapes for an unforgettable experience.

Meet your guide and head to Tomar, where you'll explore the historic Castle of the Knights Templar. Afterward, you will travel to Nazaré for a delicious lunch of local favorites. This will be followed by a leisurely walk along the scenic shoreline.

Your tour then continues to Sintra, where you will visit the enchanting Quinta da Regaleira, a 16th century Renaissance-style manor and UNESCO World Heritage site. This historic estate built by the millionaire António Augusto Carvalho Monteiro in collaboration with architect Luigi Manini, is well-known for its unique architecture including underground tunnels and initiation wells.

Dinner in Sintra follows and then the group will return to Lisbon for the evening.

DAY 3

Start your day with a delicious breakfast at the hotel, followed by a scenic drive to Évora, where you'll enjoy views of the Cristo Rey statue. Évora is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the capital of Portugal's Alentejo region. It's known for its well-preserved historical center, including a Roman temple, medieval walls, and buildings from various periods.

Explore the city on a guided tour before heading to a cooking studio for a hands-on experience making traditional Alentejan dishes, with lunch included.

Portugal's vast cork oak forests have fueled a thriving cork industry for centuries, leading to a wide range of cork products and a deeply rooted cultural tradition. After lunch, visit a cork production facility and learn about the process.

Next, indulge in a wine and tapas tasting at Cartuxa Winery, one of Portugal's most renowned wineries.

Finally, return to Lisbon for some free time at the hotel before an unforgettable Fado dinner experience at Clube de Fado or similar.

DAY 4

After breakfast and check out, experience the best panoramic views that Lisbon has to offer before transitioning to the cruise terminal.

Your journey begins with a drive to the picturesque observation deck of St. Peter or São Pedro de Alcântara. This is one of the largest and most iconic observation points in Lisbon offering panoramic views of the Baixa and Mouraria neighborhoods, with the iconic Saint George's Castle prominently in sight.

Next, you'll visit the Edward VII observation deck located within the Parque Eduardo VII, to capture vistas of the park itself, the imposing statue of the Marquis of Pombal, and the Avenida da Liberdade. You should also be able to see the south bank of the Tagus River and, on clear days, the hills of Arrábida.

The tour continues with a visit to Lisbon’s highest point and one of the most historic symbols of the city, the historic Fortress of St. George. Here you can explore its ancient walls and the “Gates of the Sun” observation deck.

Your program concludes with a transfer to the port of Lisbon for embarkation.

Note: This program does include some walking at times over uneven ground or steps. It is not recommended for guests who require sole use of a wheelchair, walker or motorized scooter.

DAY 1

After flying into the Lisbon airport, you will be met outside of customs and transferred by private vehicle to your hotel.

Check in is 2:00pm and while every effort will be made to have rooms available earlier, this cannot be guaranteed.

Spend the remainder of the day settling in and enjoying the amenities of your hotel.

Your hotel is a luxury boutique hotel born on the site of the former governor's house of the Tower of Belém. Enjoy two swimming pools, a restaurant beneath vaulted ceilings, and a modern spa. Located near the Tagus River and top museums, this refined retreat blends history, culture, and comfort for an unforgettable experience.

Please advise your booking agent at least 21 days before sailing if a larger vehicle is required.

DAY 2

Enjoy breakfast, meet your guide and depart on a scenic drive towards the Belem Quarter, where you can admire the Monument of Discoveries, the Tower of Belém and Jeronimos Monastery. Continuing to downtown Lisbon, you will pass lovely Liberdade Avenue, the elegant shopping area of Chiado and the heart of the commercial area, Praça do Comércio and Alfama.

Alfama takes its name from the Arabic Al-hamma, meaning fountains or baths. It contains many important historical attractions and traditional Fado restaurants along its narrow and winding streets. The medieval Castle of São Jorge overlooks the Alfama and offers one of the best views of the city.

Also see the Lisbon Cathedral, also known as the Sé. Although it looks like a medieval fortress, the interior is glorious and includes the font where St. Anthony of Padua was supposedly baptized in the 12th century.

By midday, you will return to the hotel to spend the afternoon at your leisure, or you may remain in the city center and return on your own.

The entertainment for the evening will be at a typical Fado restaurant. Here, you will enjoy a traditional Portuguese dinner and watch a Fado show. Fado is Portuguese folk music that is melancholy by nature and usually played on guitars and mandolins. The lyrics tend to be poetic and involve themes such as love and sadness.

Following this authentic cultural experience, you will return to the hotel.

Note: On Tuesdays and Saturdays, Feira da Ladra (flea market) takes place in the Alfama quarter and traffic circulation may be somewhat affected.

DAY 3

After departing from the hotel, you will pass through some of Portugal’s most inspiring countryside on the way to Mafra. Here, at the revered Palace of Mafra, which was constructed of local limestone and marble in the 18th century, you will behold priceless art and period furnishings that were characteristic of the royal lifestyle. At one time, the palace also served as a Franciscan monastery.

After visiting the extraordinary palace, you will continue even deeper into the countryside to the Adega Mãe, home to approximately 40 hectares of vineyards with a production capacity of somewhere near 1,5 million litres per year. In its cellar, white, red and rosé wines are produced. The productive infrastructure is equipped with modern and sophisticated machinery, combining cutting-edge technology and traditional approach.

While touring this modern and architecturally innovative vineyard, you will get to know the white and red wine presses, the grandeur of the storage and fermentation tanks. Take a peek into the laboratory and visit the Time Room (“Sala do tempo”), where aromas combine with the scent of French Oak barrels; witness the repose of their Reserva, and finish things off with a tasting while you take in the views of the vineyard.

Following lunch at the winery, you will return to the hotel along a spectacularly scenic coastal route. The remainder of the day and dinner will be on your own to enjoy as you please.

DAY 4

After departing from the hotel, you will drive to Sintra, a beautiful town nestled in the forested foothills of the Sintra mountains. Your experience here begins with free time to wander about the atmospheric streets, enjoy the sweeping views and thoroughly relax.

Not far away, you will find Pena Palace, a landmark that was built in the 19th century to be a royal summer home. Inside and out, it looks like an eccentric mix of different castle styles and features. Now hailed as a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of Portugal’s Seven Wonders, the flamboyant palace exemplifies 19th-century Romantic architecture, inside and out.

Following your tour of Pena Palace, you will return to Lisbon and embark the cruise ship.
