The Port of Lisbon boasts state-of-the-art facilities well-suited to contemporary cruise tourism demands. The cruise terminal location, near historic and cultural center, combined with a mild climate, a vast array of tourist and accommodation options, direct flights and a city-center airport, enhances its appeal.
The Lisbon Cruise Terminal building has 13.800 sq. meters, served by a 1.490-meters-long pier, with capacity to receive multiple ships from various dimensions with drafts up to 12 meters, offers the most modern and wide variety of services to the ship and passenger.
Environmental sustainability is a strategic priority for the port, evidenced by the Onshore Power Supply system scheduled to start at 2029. Among other initiatives promoting the sustainable development of cruise activity in Lisbon is the Environmental Port Index (EPI), a system that allows the evaluation and monitoring of ships’ emission levels during their stay in port.
In addition, the Port of Lisbon has promoted several other sustainability-focused initiatives, including the ‘Lisbon Cruise Activity Sustainability Committee’, a collaborative initiative that stands out for the joint commitment of various stakeholders in promoting sustainable solutions for the cruise tourism sector, both in Lisbon and across Portugal. Another noteworthy initiative is the "Cruise for the Community" program, a pioneering effort aimed at strengthening ties between cruise companies and the local community, promoting social integration and sustainable development in the city of Lisbon.
