Douro
Sail the Stunning Douro – A Hidden Gem of Europe
A Douro River cruise is your ticket to experiencing the breathtaking landscapes, sun-drenched vineyards, and rich cultural heritage of Spain and Portugal. Stretching over 550 miles, the Douro originates in northern Spain before winding its way through the scenic heart of Portugal, where it meets the Atlantic Ocean in the vibrant city of Porto.
Often called one of Europe’s most beautiful yet undiscovered rivers, the Douro offers a magical journey through deep gorges, rolling hills, and centuries-old vineyards, where baroque palaces, historic churches, and charming fishing villages dot the riverbanks. As you sail through this spectacular Iberian countryside, you’ll visit hidden gems like Porto, a city of stunning architecture and world-famous wine, and Salamanca, a UNESCO-listed Spanish treasure with a rich history and beautifully preserved medieval charm.
Whether you're exploring Portugal’s iconic port wine estates, discovering the historic wonders of Salamanca, or soaking in the laid-back charm of Lisbon, a Douro River cruise promises an unforgettable blend of scenic beauty, cultural discovery, and timeless elegance.
