Lisbon & the Douro Valley Cruise

“A holiday of Two Halves. I rated Lisbon only satisfactory. Lisbon is a pleasant but not outstanding tourist venue. Unfortunately our stay in Lisbon was chopped and changed too much. Currently, the Douro River cruises are relatively undeveloped and have minimal commercial river traffic compared to other major European rivers...

Douro River Experiences

Cultural destinations

Along the Douro River, towns and cities offer a journey through Portugal's rich cultural tapestry. Explore the UNESCO-listed World Heritage city of Porto, discover baroque architecture in the picturesque village of Lamego, and - as the river meanders towards Spain - visit the golden city of Salamanca with its ornate sandstone buildings.

Marvellous architecture

The Douro region's architecture reflects its rich cultural heritage and stunning landscapes. Visit Vila Real's impressive Mateus Palace with its symmetrical façade and ornate gardens, discover the striking Manueline style in Lisbon's streets and boulevards, and explore the medieval buildings of Guimarães in its UNESCO-listed historic centre.

Wine tasting and port sampling

Indulge in the finest wines the Douro Valley has to offer. Visit renowned wineries nestled along the riverbanks and taste vintages while learning about the art of winemaking from expert sommeliers. Stop by local wine Quintas to savour fine port wine - the celebrated beverage that hails from the region and is known for its rich, sweet taste and deep colour.
