Portugal cruises bring you straight into the country's easy-going coastal charm, where tiled streets, Atlantic views and the promise of something delicious around the corner make every day ashore feel like time well spent. There's plenty to explore, but Portugal has a knack for making you slow down and enjoy it.

Lisbon is an obvious highlight, with its hilltop viewpoints and winding streets, while Porto offers a different flavour further north. Sail further out, then Madeira's Funchal and volcanic landscapes add an island twist to your itinerary, giving Portugal plenty of variety without losing its character.

Portugal features on Mediterranean, Atlantic and fly-cruise itineraries, with some sailings also linking it with Spain, France and the Canary Islands. Whether you're looking for a European cruise or a longer adventure, Portugal makes a rather lovely stop along the way.
