Lisbon, Portugal
Dock and Disembark 07:00 (8 hours ahead of PDT)
The capital of Portugal since its conquest from the Moors in
1147, Lisbon is a legendary city with over 20 centuries of
history. Spreading out along the right bank of the Tagus, its
downtown, the Baixa, is located in the 18th-century area around
Rossio. The Alfama, one of the oldest quarters in Lisboa, still
retains much of its original layout since it largely survived the
earthquake of 1755.
Port Lisbon stretches along Rio Tejo (Tagus River - Iberian
Peninsula's longest). The port has 2 cruise terminals (on the
river's north bank) plus 1 quay, located close to downtown.
