Lisbon Cruise Ship Calendar
Which ships are in Lisbon on the day you call, and how crowded the old town is likely to be. When three or four ships share a day, several thousand extra visitors head for the same castle, tram and viewpoints between 10:00 and 15:00; knowing that in advance is the difference between queuing and walking straight in.
Source: the published schedule of the Lisbon Cruise Terminal, last updated 2 November 2026. The terminal publishes about three months ahead, and times change with weather and operations: your ship's daily programme is always the authority.
How to use it
Quiet means one ship in port, Busy two, and Very busy three or more. On busy days, start with the sights the crowds reach last: go west to Belém first, or climb to the castle at opening time before the tour coaches arrive, and leave the riverside squares for the afternoon.
“Plan this day” opens the port day planner with your ship's times filled in, assuming all-aboard 30 minutes before departure. Mondays are flagged because the Jerónimos Monastery, Belém Tower, the Fado Museum and several other museums close that day; our Monday port day guide lists what stays open.
