Wake each morning to new views as your river ship floats past steep terraced vineyards and historic quintas. You'll explore Porto's winding lanes and sample its namesake wine, learn Portuguese phrases to use in local markets, and discover the baroque splendour of Lamego's hilltop cathedral. In Spain's magnificent Salamanca, you're free to explore the sunlit city before enjoying a flamenco show.

Between guided excursions to places like the stunning Palace of Mateus and medieval Castelo Rodrigo, there's plenty of time to relax on deck, explore charming riverside towns at your own pace, or simply watch the world drift by with a glass of local wine.

Whether you're wandering through Porto's historic Bolhão market, sampling Lamego's famous ham rolls, or enjoying sunset views from your ship's deck, this journey along the Douro offers the perfect blend of structure and spontaneity.
