Portugal

Portugal shore excursions with Bakadi Dreams begin where Europe ends and the age of discovery once started. Indeed, the caravels set sail from here, and that history still shapes the country. Moreover, ships dock right in the city, so within minutes you stand in front of the sights instead of sitting on a bus.

Our Ports in Portugal

Lisbon, the capital on the Tejo, is our home port in the country. Above all, distances are short: from the terminal you reach the old town on foot, and Belem is a brief drive away. As a result, even a shorter call ashore is well worth it. Finally, the city is built on hills, so a historic tram, a lift or an open tuk tuk carries you up the steep lanes.

Food and Culture in Portugal

Try the Pasteis de Belem, baked to the same recipe since 1837, with a bica, the Portuguese espresso. At lunch there are grilled sardines or bacalhau, the salt cod prepared in countless ways. In the evening, the melancholic sound of fado drifts from the taverns of the Alfama.

Our Portuguese programme starts in Lisbon, one of the most convenient cruise ports in Europe. Discover Belem, the Alfama and the famous viewpoints on a small-group walk or in an open tuk tuk. It is all part of our Mediterranean shore excursions.
