“One of the best things we have ever done on vacation! It is up there with Christmas Eve Mass at the Vatican. The city of Lisbon goes all out with their New Years celebration. The vantage point on the water is second to none. There were only 10 passsengers on the boat. Highly recommend it.”

6.New Year’s Eve Tagus River Cruise with Open Bar

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 18 reviews · 2 hours · from $235

“Highlight of our trip. They took us to the perfect up close viewing of the fireworks which lasted a solid 10 minutes. The staff was very welcoming, ensuring we had a good time - plenty of beer and wine plus snacks. The catamaran had inside and outside areas, which we tried to huddle where it was warm due to unusually cold night. Meet up location was easy to find and well organized. Champagne and raisins distributed at midnight. Checked in at 10, boarded 10:30, disembarked at 11, and returned at 1am.”
