Step aboard for an unforgettable journey along the Douro River, one of Europe’s most captivating waterways. Starting in the historic city of Porto, we’ll sail past sun-drenched vineyards, dramatic canyons, and timeless villages, with highlights including a full day through the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Douro Valley, a walking tour of the ‘Golden City’, and a visit to the beautiful Baroque town of Lamego.
Life on board is the perfect mix of relaxation, fine dining, and discovery. Enjoy complimentary wine, beer, and soft drinks with meals, sample local delicacies, or join optional activities such as vineyard walks, wine tastings, cooking classes, cocktail making, and guided tours. Of course, you can always take it easy, whether that means sightseeing ashore or simply unwinding with a glass of Port on deck.
Evenings bring something truly special: exclusive live performances from Richard Thompson, performing favourites alongside songs from his latest album Ship to Shore, Fairport Convention’s Dave Pegg, bringing his legendary bass artistry, and the ever-entertaining Anthony John Clarke, whose mix of wit, warmth, and musicianship guarantees laughter and song in equal measure.
With just 56 cabins, this is a rare opportunity to experience world-class music in an intimate setting, surrounded by the beauty of Portugal’s most celebrated river. A once-in-a-lifetime voyage, not to be missed.
