Iona arrived in the Port of Lisbon on the evening of October.6 and according to a press statement, passengers were allowed to go ashore in “bubble tours.”
As is customary on an inaugural port call, a plaque exchange took place on the quayside with representatives of the Lisbon Harbour Master, Immigration Authority, Customs Authority, Terminal Operator, Port Authority and Port Agency exchanging plaques with Captain Andrew Wolverson.
James Rawes Navegação, port agent on the call said, “It was a successful call and we look forward to seeing the ship again on the 20th of this month at which time we hope passengers and crew can come ashore independently and enjoy our lovely city”.
