WorkerBee74 Posted January 16, 2022 #1 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Which ones are best to go up on deck for vs which ones are just a port/industrial area approach between the open water and port? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Bull Posted January 18, 2022 #2 Share Posted January 18, 2022 (edited) You really need to list your other ports. But Lisbon is a pleasant if unexciting approach up the Tagus estuary & past the Belem Tower. Sorry, not called at Porto.

edinburgher Posted January 20, 2022 #3 Share Posted January 20, 2022 (edited) We have docked twice in Leixoes for Porto. It not the most scenic spot in Portugal , but there is a newer port. which I know nothing about. For info on docking, transport etc from Leixoes try a site such as "whatsinport" which has much info on your options. And if you SEARCH for Porto (or Oporto as both are used ) on the OTHER MEDITERRANEAN PORTS board you should find lots of helpful info appearing in the results. I can recommend you visit the port houses area of Porto, right alongside the river at Vila Nova da Gaia(sp?) easily reached by tram/metro where you can tour some of the best port houses in Portugal. and enjoy tastings too. It is also an attractive riverfront and promenade with boat trips on offer and wonderful views of the huge bridge. And enjoy a wander around the older part of the city, not missing the entrance to the main railway station which has a wonderfully tiled entrance hall.

WorkerBee74 Posted January 21, 2022 Author #4 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Thanks for your responses but my cruise just got cancelled haha - JINX! I was on one of the Celebrity Infinity cruises that got cancelled when they made the decision to move the ship to the Caribbean for the season. This thread might help someone else though for next spring, we would have been calling on Lisbon/Porto/Vigo/Malaga/Cadiz/Valencia and Barcelona.
