Sail and Feel the Soul of Lisbon
This experience on the Tagus River combines the iconic Fado and a unique boat tour in Lisbon.
You will hear Portugal’s most famous fados in a private and exclusive presentation. Even for those who don’t understand the lyrics, the emotions conveyed by the music are palpable. Embarking on a catamaran cruise on the Tagus River is an excellent option for those who want to explore the Portuguese capital.
A symbol of identity, Fado is widely sung in Lisbon. It is typically performed by a solo singer, male or female, accompanied by a viola and a Portuguese guitar (a twelve-stringed pear-shaped lute). It is practiced professionally and informally in local associations and often passed down through successive generations within the same families.
Fado became one of Portugal’s greatest symbols through the voice of Amália Rodrigues, who played a crucial role in its internationalization and establishment as an art form. Fado was classified as UNESCO Intangible Heritage in 2011. Since then, notable names in this genre have emerged, such as Camané, Mariza, Gisela João, and Raquel Tavares, among others.
