Cocktails on board: open bar and drinks on the Tagus, in Lisbon

Few things taste as good as a cocktail on a boat, glass in hand, with the sun dipping over the Tagus and Lisbon all around. Whether it’s a welcome toast, an open bar for the party or sparkling wine at sunset, a cocktail on board turns the cruise into an experience. Here’s how it works.

From the welcome toast to the open bar

Aboard the Lusitana, the drinks are made to measure:

• Welcome drink — we greet you with a glass, right as you board.
• Open bar — choose a drinks package for your group, without worrying about the bill.
• Cocktails and sparkling wine — for a special toast, a birthday or a marriage proposal.

We match the drinks to the occasion — from a quiet sunset to a lively Boat Party.

The best cocktail is at sunset

There’s no better setting for a drink than the golden hour on the Tagus. On the sunset cruise, the open bar and cocktails are the perfect complement: the light shifting over the Ponte 25 de Abril, a chilled glass in your hand and only your people on board.

Drinks + food, paired together

Cocktails are even better with something to nibble on. Add chef’s food on board — petiscos, seafood or a menu of your choice — and you have the complete experience.

Plan your open bar on board

A private charter — the boat is yours alone and we design the drinks (and the rest) with you.

Frequently asked questions

Can I bring my own drinks on board? We talk it through case by case — but the most convenient thing is to leave the bar to us, with packages tailored to the group, so you don’t have to worry about ice, glasses or the bill at the end.

How much does an open bar on board cost? It depends on the package and the size of the group. Since it’s always a private charter, the boat is yours alone and the open bar comes as an extra on the cruise (charters from around €1,100, depending on duration and drinks).

How many people can I bring for a toast on board? The Lusitana catamaran welcomes up to 37 guests, boarding at Doca de Alcântara (Gate 3). Perfect for a group toast, from a birthday to a company event.

Are there alcohol-free cocktails? Yes. We put together mocktails and refreshing drinks for non-drinkers, designated drivers or kids — no one is left out of the toast.
