Cruise past this iconic landmark and soak in the historic charm of the Belém waterfront.

Dock nearby and admire this towering tribute to explorers like Vasco da Gama and Prince Henry the Navigator. From the water, you’ll enjoy a dramatic view of its sculpted figures reaching toward the sea. Learn about the monument’s symbolism and the voyages that shaped the world.
