Sunset Six Bridges Cruise
Ready to capture stunning moments? Make sure your camera is at hand! Our adventure begins at the Ribeira pier, situated along the Douro River, where the Six Bridges cruise at sunset will set sail.
This boat excursion is considered one of the essential experiences in Porto, as the fading sunlight casts an orange hue over the cityscape, creating an unforgettable atmosphere. Over the course of 90 minutes, you'll be treated to breathtaking panoramic vistas of Porto.
As you glide along the Douro, you'll traverse under the six major bridges of Porto: the Dom Luís I Bridge, Arrábida Bridge, Infante Dom Henrique Bridge, Maria Pia Bridge, São João Bridge, and Freixo Bridge. Additionally, you'll enjoy views of the Vila Nova de Gaia skyline, renowned for its historic port wine cellars.
Enhancing this remarkable journey is a sumptuous apéritif offered on board, featuring a variety of delectable sweet and savory treats, including:
- Croquettes with prawns or black pudding
- Skewers of cherry tomatoes and mozzarella
- Omelet wrap filled with cream cheese, smoked salmon, and arugula

- Chocolate brownies
Your culinary experience will be accompanied by beverages such as Port wine, white wine from the Douro Demarcated Region, juice, or water, the ideal way to unwind as the sun sets.
