Douro Valley 11 days - Lisbon to Porto
Portugal, a small country tucked into
the corner of the Iberian Peninsula, surrounded by its much
larger neighbor, Spain, changed the course of world
history, leading to the "discovery" of many new
lands. The Portuguese invented the navigation of the seas,
so it's only fitting for you to discover the warmth and
friendliness of these very proud people as you travel along
the Douro River. Before embarking on your cruise, enjoy
Lisbon, a colorful entree to what lies ahead as you sail
the river valley with steeped-terraced vineyards and
picture-postcard landscapes. Stop in Coimbra,
"Birthplace of Kings," and Porto, the "City
of Bridges." Taste new wines from old village
vineyards - Regua, Pinhao and Lamego. Stroll the UNESCO
World Heritage City, Salamanca, Spain, and all along the
way uncover a land of unspoiled beauty and charm.

DOURO RIVER VALLEY
Over the centuries, the Douro River has
carved a spectacular and scenic valley endowed with
panoramas stretching from stately Porto, in Portugal's
center of port wine production, to Spain. And it is the
Douro that has been the lifeblood of the region, providing
a rich abundance of fruits, olives and grapes, as well as
serving as a highway for travelers and for transporting
casks of Portugal's most famous export, Port wine.
Now, you have the opportunity to enjoy
the picturesque Douro River, one of Europe's most unspoiled
rivers, with its fertile slopes of vineyards, and tiny
white villages clinging to the hillsides. Discover a world
where nature and architecture stand in perfect harmony.
Enjoy the warmth that is characteristic of the friendly
faces that will greet you along the way.
Travel onboard the lovely and intimate
Douro Queen, the most luxurious and newest ship on the
Douro River. Spacious lounges and guest areas offer an
elegant and comfortable atmosphere. The Sun Deck provides
the perfect spot to enjoy the gorgeous scenery or take a
dip in the swimming pool and two whirlpools, an exclusive
Douro Queen amenity. Staterooms are outside facing, and are
well-appointed with a private bathroom and shower, ample
closet space, hotel-style beds, TV with local channels, and
individually-controlled air conditioning and heating.
Celebrate the region in comfort and
style, and enjoy the tantalizing foods and extensive wines,
all while being transported back in time to a land
untouched by time.
