Creator's Key Takeaways

We thoroughly enjoyed the trip and could not have been more impressed.

The ship itself is really quite stunning. Huge interior windows bring in so much light and there Scandi style decor throughout the ship which is modern and bright.

The crew on board Viking Togle were amazing. Our cruise director, Miki, did a fantastic job.

We'd highly recommend the Graham's Port Evening.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Don't let the hills put you off a visit to Lisbon at all.
โœ“If you don't drink, maybe not for the Graham's Port Evening.
โœ“Give the Segway tour a go for sure.

Hills in Lisbon โ€” Don't let the hills put you off; there are battery-powered vehicles and tuk tuks available.
Seasickness on a river cruise โ€” It's not possible to be seasick on a river cruise as the water is like glass.
