Does anyone know if the Voayager provides a shuttle into Lisbon when we stop there in June? Is it far from the port to the city? (When we were there on Seabourn it was quite far.) Are cabs waiting at the port? We have spent some time in Lisbon and do not want to do a tour, but I think I read somewhere that Regent might be cutting back on shuttle services. Thanks for any information.

I think there are several docks where you could end up. Ours was fairly far down the river, closer to Belem than the center of the city. Yes, there was a free shuttle to a central square. And yes, there were plenty of cabs available. This was 2006.

When we were there on our Silver Wind cruise in 2006, they had the free shuttle to Praca de Comercio where the triumphal arch leads to the Rua Augusta. I believe I read someplace that Regent offers the same service, but that could be old news!

I was on the Navigator April 18-May 5. We were in Lisbon on April 28th and Regent provided a shuttle back and forth into the city. They did in every port on this trip except for when Cadiz but we were docked right in the city area. It was about a 20 minute ride, but coming back was about 10 minutes. Must of been because of one way roads or something.

Thanks, Cindy. It's nice to know that Regent still has this perk for us passengers. Looking forward to the shuttles. I'll be in Lisbon in 7 weeks on the Voyager. If you get a chance, please write up a review.
