Ship Highlights

River Cruise Experience

An advantage of taking a river cruise on MS Fernao de Magalhaes is that you will be able to experience much more than you would on a land tour of Europe. You will be able to visit smaller and more quaint ports than you could on an ocean cruise. You will also be able to visit multiple ports in one day and take advantage of much later departure times from port cities. You can take all the time you want throughout the day to explore every European town along the river. This allows ample time to get the full experience of each city along your itinerary. A river vessel that travels overnights translates to more port time for every guest, meaning that you can truly immerse yourself in a world of culture and explore everything that the European waterways has to offer while sailing aboard MS Fernao de Magalhaes. The best part is that you get to travel while you sleep!

When you’re not busy immersing yourself in Portugal’s rich culture by exploring the land or trying your hands at local activities and customs onshore, you can relax in the lounge-bar, hang out atop the sundeck in a comfortable lounger or take a stroll through the giftshop. There is also onboard Wi-Fi for your convenience.
