The allure of a Portugal River cruise is the wealth of wonders that it offers. Scenic guests will experience fabulous treasures and extraordinary gastronomy at privately owned hilltop quintas (farms, vineyards & wineries), in enchanting riverside communities and cosmopolitan ports. Whether you’re enjoying the cuisine, ports and wines, or simply watching the undulating hills pass by, the Douro River has something for every traveler.

Discover a Portugal that is yours alone, living in your memory forever with a journey through the heart of the beautiful Douro Valley. With its spectrum of colors and flavors, as well as the variety of influences that have added their individual touches over the centuries, a Douro River Cruise in Portugal is a magical adventure.  For 70 miles of the Douro’s 557 mile length, the river forms part of the national border between Spain and Portugal. A day trip to the Spanish town of Salamanca is a highlight of most Douro cruises.  Its narrow canyons made it a historical barrier for invasions, and an enduring cultural and linguistic divide. On your Douro river cruise you’ll see the very best that both sides of this fascinating river have to offer.
