Overview
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.
- Step into the tranquil charm of this Douro River village and visit the Baroque-style Palácio de Mateus, where elegantly decorated rooms and intricately carved ceilings sparkle with festive charm, and stroll through some of the most beautiful gardens in Portugal.
- Begin your day in the charming port town, then journey to the hilltop village of Castelo Rodrigo, where festive holiday lights seem to dance along its ancient walls and narrow streets. Later, enjoy the option of a spirited hike for a more active exploration amid breathtaking winter vistas.
- Drive into the golden-hued streets of Salamanca, a UNESCO World Heritage “living museum.” While there, step back in time on a festive tour of the city’s historic university, majestic cathedrals, ornate House of Shells, and the bustling Plaza Mayor, all aglow with holiday charm.
- Savor a festive Douro evening as you cruise into Pinhão for a cozy port tasting and a holiday-warm dinner at a storied quinta.
- Journey into picturesque Lamego to visit its iconic hilltop sanctuary and celebrate the season with tastings of local specialties and sparkling Espumante. Later, enjoy a warm, holiday-style lunch at a traditional quinta.
- Discover the vibrant, storybook charm of Porto on a guided tour of its UNESCO-listed historic quarter or an invigorating hike, then embrace the festive spirit with an afternoon Port wine tasting before sailing through the city’s twinkling holiday lights on a magical evening cruise.
- Say goodbye to the Douro and prepare for your journey home
