Why we love this holiday: This holiday is a perfect blend of effortless luxury and authentic cultural experiences as you cruise the stunning Douro River through one of Europe’s most picturesque and historic wine regions. From the moment you step aboard the elegant MS Estrela — a beautifully appointed river ship designed for comfort and style — the breathtaking landscapes of terraced vineyards and charming riverside towns become your ever-changing backdrop. Every day brings something special, from serene river vistas and traditional port wine tastings at historic quintas like Quinta da Pacheca to the captivating rhythms of a live fado performance in the magnificent Palácio da Bolsa.
With all-inclusive dining, expertly guided excursions, and return flights from the UK taken care of, this holiday feels seamless — a relaxing, enriching journey where you can truly enjoy the food, culture, and joy of travel.
