Douro River Voyage

The romantic Douro River winds through northern Portugal, creating a landscape of sculpted hills and terraced vineyards. Embark on a 7-night cruise and sail from picturesque, medieval Barca d’Alva to Porto, a delightful mosaic of scarlet and gold architecture. Pass by storybook villages and steeply sloping countryside while gliding through one of Europe’s most unspoiled regions. Taste locally produced olives, almonds, breads and cheeses, and of course, port–the famous sweet, fortified wine the area is known for.
