Docking in Lisbon on your cruise? Lucky you! Lisbon is one of Europe’s most captivating and scenic port cities, and it’s just minutes from the cruise terminal to the historic heart of the city.
Whether you have just a few hours or a full day, Portugal Magik Private Tours offers customized private shore excursions, picking you up directly at the port and showing you the best Lisbon has to offer — all in a luxury Mercedes-Benz vehicle, guided by a professional English-speaking driver/guide.
🚢 Where Do Cruise Ships Dock in Lisbon?
Most cruise ships dock at one of two centrally located terminals:
Santa Apolónia Cruise Terminal (main terminal, near Alfama)
Jardim do Tabaco Quay / Cais da Rocha (close to downtown)
Both are within 10–15 minutes of Lisbon’s most famous landmarks, making it easy to explore even during a short port stop.
We provide port pick-up and drop-off, with real-time coordination based on your ship’s arrival and departure schedule.
