Portugal River Cruises
One of the world's most distinctive wine regions and cities rife
with cultural beg your exploration in Portugal. Set sail on the
"Golden" Douro River, a breathtaking
waterway that meanders from central Spain toward Portugal's sunny
Atlantic coastline, cutting through the northern part of the
country to reveal scenes you have to see to believe.
Portugal river cruises sail past lush olive groves and orchards
of almond trees. Marvel at the views while sailing through the
incredibly historic Douro Valley, past sprawling wine estates and
small riverside towns where centuries of culture sit well
preserved. Fascinating ports of call, including Regua, surrounded
by terraced slopes; Lamego, with its Baroque architecture; and
Guimarães, whose buildings date to the 10th century. The highlight
of any river cruise in Portugal is Porto, a 2,000-year-old city
where one drink reigns supreme: Port wine. The best of the Iberian
Peninsula is at your fingertips on a cruise vacation.
