About Us – FRS Portugal

Part of the FRS family

The northern German shipping company family FRS originates from Flensburg and founded FRS Portugal in early 2021 with a lot of passion and hopes of a beautiful travel season. The new offer is especially tailored for vacationers and tourists who want to visit Lisbon and create unique memories. With our exciting convertible ship we provide quite a special experience during our Tagus river cruise Lisbon on the river Tagus.

Since July 2021, FRS Portugal has been a member of Turismo de Lisboa, the important Visitors Bureau of Lisbon. The non-profit organisation was established in 1997 and aims to promote information for tourists on the beautiful Portuguese city. Since 2004, cultivating of international tourism promotion for this attractive travel destination has been their core business. We are very proud to be part of their diverse portfolio and look forward to this fruitful partnership.

Our patron FRS embodies family tradition and at the same time innovative concepts. For example, the ferry shipping company from Flensburg is family-run and emphasizes customer service at eye level. At the same time, FRS is a pioneer of LNG technology and operates two of these novel and modern ferries between Germany and Denmark with its subsidiary FRS Syltfähre.
