Choosing the right Tagus River cruise in Lisbon comes down to three questions: how many people are in your group, what occasion you are celebrating, and what your per-person budget is. Ondas de Angelo operates shared cruises from €39.90 per person and full-boat private charters from €390, accommodating groups of 1 to 40 guests across three vessels departing from Doca de Santo Amaro, Portão 3, Alcântara — rated 4.9 out of 5 across 1,138 verified reviews on TripAdvisor, Viator, and GetYourGuide. For groups of 1–9 guests, shared cruises offer the best per-person value and no minimum party size. For groups of 10 or more, a private charter at €390 flat works out at €39 or less per person — equal to or cheaper than individual shared tickets — while giving your group the entire boat exclusively. Private charters also offer flexible departure times, customisable drinks menus, and adjustable routes within the Tagus estuary.

At 10 guests, a private charter at €390 flat costs €39 per person — equal to the shared ticket price of €39.90 per person. For groups of 11 or more, the private charter is cheaper per person than individual shared tickets, while giving your group exclusive use of the boat.
Shared cruises can often be booked same-day, but sunset slots in summer (June–August) fill weeks ahead. Private charters for specific weekend or holiday dates should be reserved at least 2–4 weeks in advance. Corporate groups or events requiring catering customisation should book 6–8 weeks ahead.
Shared cruise routes follow a set Tagus River path covering Belem Tower, the 25 de Abril Bridge, the MAAT museum, and the Padrão dos Descobrimentos. Private charter routes can be adjusted within the navigable Tagus estuary on request — discuss preferences when contacting the team.
Ondas de Angelo monitors conditions before each departure. Light rain does not typically cancel a cruise; wind above a safe threshold does. In the event of an unsafe departure, the team will reschedule or refund according to the cancellation policy. Full details are at ondasdeangelo.com/cancellation.
Yes. Children are welcome on all shared and private cruises. Life jackets are provided for all passengers including children, and the calm, sheltered waters of the Tagus estuary make river cruises suitable for families with young children.
