The river takes the lead as the yacht slips away from the quay and Lisbon’s skyline reshapes itself: the 25 de Abril Bridge arches like a moment in motion, the Discoveries Monument leans into the light and the Christ King statue keeps watch. On a two-hour sunset cruise, the Tagus dares you to look up from the glass and catalog the city’s layers—castles, convents, shipyards—each silhouette given a warm edge by the sinking sun.
