Please be guided that Portuguese Government has just issue a statement informing that all passenger vessels will not be authorized to disembark any guests/crewmembers/staff. Licenses to go ashore also will not be granted. 

Exception is made to Portuguese Citizens living in Portugal wishing to debark at our ports.
