Discover the delightful Douro River, taking you deep into one of the most unspoilt corners of Europe. For 70 miles of the Douro’s 557-mile length, the river forms part of the national border between Spain and Portugal. Its narrow canyons made it a historical barrier for invasions and an enduring cultural and linguistic divide. On your Douro River cruise, you’ll see the best that both sides of this fascinating river offer. There are plenty of beautiful sights to satisfy your eyes and many fantastic tastes to satisfy your taste buds.
Wine is never far from the Douro River, and there are plenty of opportunities to try out the authentic local favourites during your cruise. You’ll be spoilt for choice – whether it’s the sparkling Raposeira of historic Lamego, the familiar Rosé of Mateus Palace, or the Port wine (still trodden by foot) that’s so wholly entwined with the history of Oporto. The region's delicious food, such as tapas, sardines, and custard tarts, can be found in abundance along the riverbank and in the stunning port towns you will visit along the way.
