The boat eases off from Lisbon’s riverfront and the Tagus opens like a cool, moving avenue—city tiles and yellow façades sliding past as coffee steam lifts from paper cups. On board a low, enclosed Vicente craft, groups gather near the rail to watch the Ponte 25 de Abril loom and the Cristo Rei statue preside across the water. The morning smells of sugar and sea, punctuated by the crisp bite of Portuguese coffee and the warm pastry of a pastel de nata.
