THE CELEBRATION

Birthday Party with Music, Cake and Open Bar

This is a party-first cruise: a live DJ keeps the energy up while guests toast with unlimited drinks and enjoy a traditional buffet, sweets and a special birthday cake — everything set up for photos and shared moments on deck.

THE ROUTE

Sunset Scenery and Iconic Landmarks

As evening falls the boat sails past Lisbon’s signature sights — Torre de Belém, Ponte 25 de Abril and Cristo Rei among them — providing broad, photogenic perspectives of the riverfront at golden hour.

THE COMFORT

A Luxury, Weather-Proof Setting

The vessel is described as comfortable and can be closed in glass to shelter guests from wind or chill, keeping the party moving regardless of a coastal breeze.

What the day feels like

How the Evening Unfolds

Over roughly two hours the boat departs the dock and slips along the Tagus as a DJ sets a festive soundtrack; guests circulate between deck and cabin, help themselves to the open bar and buffet, pose for sunset photos against landmark backdrops, and — if the night calls for it — can extend the celebration onboard.
