A true oasis in the centre of Lisbon, The Lapa Palace Hotel is set on a hilltop overlooking Lisbon's Tagus River and the city itself, amid tranquil gardens dotted with ornamental fountains and streams. Built in 1870 as a private residence, the Lapa Palace lies at the heart of Lisbon's modern business and shopping districts. Its beautiful gardens provide a true oasis in the city of Lisbon, just one reason why this historic hotel has been favoured and frequented by international aristocracy, politicians, and artists alike.
Crystal Serenity
At 68,000 tons and capable of serving 1,080 guests, Crystal Serenity is our largest ship. However, like her sister ship, she maintains one of the highest space-per-guest ratios at sea, so you'll never feel crowded. Featuring many of the same popular public spaces and amenities as Crystal Symphony, Crystal Serenity serves up innovation in the form of new dining venues like Tastes, Silk Road and The Sushi Bar.
