The bow parts the Tagus with a soft, salt-slick whisper as Lisbon’s low skyline drifts into view—Belém’s ornate tower, the 25 de Abril bridge’s red span and the tall statue of Cristo Rei on the opposite bank. Light plays across the water; the boat heels gently and a sommelier uncorks a bottle, the bright citrus of a Portuguese white cutting through the sea breeze.
