Lisbon has been named “Europe’s leading cruise destination” and “Europe’s leading cruise port” in the World Travel Awards 2016. These accolades, announced at the Europe Gala Ceremony held in Sardinia earlier this month, honour the quality of services and the facilities for cruise passengers available in the sunny Portuguese capital.
Mrs. Paula Oliveira, Executive Director of Turismo de Lisboa, said: “We are extremely proud to have received these two new awards for our city. Not only do they recognise the diversity of the tourism facilities available for cruise passengers but also the effort that the tourist board is putting into achieving a new level of excellence for Lisbon.”
