A cruise along the Douro River will transport you to days gone by. You’ll find locals still ply their traditional trades as they have for centuries, regional fare is authentic and honest, and the people are welcoming and passionate about their heritage. Discover this rich history and culture throughout the Douro Valley, from Vega de Terron, a border town with Spanish influences, to the ancient town of Lamego, the birthplace of Port. This famous wine has been cultivated in the same way since the first vines were planted on the terraced banks of the Douro. Take a cruise on a colourful moliceiro boat in Aveiro, known as the Venice of Portugal. With just 96 passengers, your Scenic Space-Ship is custom-built for these waters and allows you to truly feel at home in each destination, with ample time for relaxation on board. Add two extensions to your cruise to discover more of the Iberian Peninsula. Enjoy a four-day stay in Lisbon to discover the vibrant colours of the Portuguese capital and three days in Porto to dive even deeper into the culture and heritage of Portugal’s colourful second city. Luxury accommodation, included transfers and a Scenic Tour Director make for seamless travel.
