Cruise Overview

Join this 2024 river cruise through Portugal and admire the landscapes and quaint towns of the UNESCO-listed Douro Valley, one of the oldest wine-producing regions of the world.

Sample regional delicacies and enjoy wine tastings as you step away from the main tourist drag to explore such attractions as Lamego's baroque Sanctuary of Nossa Senhora dos Remédios, the miraculous city of Salamanca – a UNESCO World Heritage Site – and the medieval town of Figueira Castelo de Rodrigo.

You’ve seen the Mateus Rosé wine label, now visit the 18th-century Casa de Mateus Palace, and round off your cruise with a tasting in a port wine cellar in Oporto…
