Cruising Up the Tagus River to Lisbon

December 6, 2024 in Portugal ⋅ ⛅ 55 °F

Our third time sailing up the Tagus River to Lisbon … the second port of call of this cruise.

The previous two sailings were during daylight. This time we enjoyed our river cruise under the veil of darkness; the city lights a-twinkle … hints of sunrise colors to the east eventually giving way to full sunshine and blue skies … the temperature comfortable enough for us to be on deck with just the lightest of jackets against the dawn chill.

Fun to see familiar landmarks along the riverfront once again.Read more
