7-night from Porto to Porto
Rambling vineyards and charming native farms cling to the steep sides of the Douro River Valley, creating an incomparable backdrop to one of Europe’s most unspoiled regions and to Port country— the world’s oldest demarcated wine region. Sail roundtrip from Porto, the beautiful “City of Bridges”; visit Regua, the ‘capital’ of the Douro Valley; and marvel at Salamanca, the UNESCO-designated “Golden City.” Taste wines from historic wineries and soak up the genuine beauty of one of Europe’s most unadulterated landscapes.What's Included
- Step aboard your ship and set sail on the tranquil Douro, letting the gentle river breeze and the warm glow of Porto’s historic waterfront welcome you to a journey of discovery.
- Explore Lamego’s sanctuary and winding staircases, then delight in traditional Portuguese specialties at a local quinta, savoring the flavors and culture of this sun-drenched region.
- Soak in the gentle rhythms of riverside life before ascending to Castelo Rodrigo, a hilltop village where centuries-old streets and sweeping views capture the essence of rustic Portugal.
- Journey to Salamanca and wander its sunlit squares and sandstone streets, where historic university buildings, ornate plazas, and medieval whispers invite you to step back in time.
- Glide through the heart of the Douro Valley to Pinhão, where terraced vineyards and centuries-old wine estates offer private tastings and an intimate glimpse into Portugal’s winemaking traditions.
- Explore the elegant Palacio de Mateus, where exquisite gardens and ornate interiors offer a quiet glimpse into Portugal’s baroque heritage.
- Discover Porto’s historic quarter, taste the world-famous Port wine, and experience the city’s illuminated waterfront as day melts into the golden hues of evening along the Douro.
- Bid farewell to the Douro and prepare for your journey home
