Why Cruise The Douro?
Most Douro River cruises begin and end in Porto, one of Portugal’s oldest and most charming cities. Some cruise lines offer pre-cruise tours of Lisbon, Portugal’s hilly coastal capital. An overnight stay in Lisbon is included in the Viking River Cruises’ Douro itinerary. In addition, some Douro river cruises include a visit to Salamanca, Spain or offer a post cruise package there – or to Madrid.
The Douro River Valley is a designated UNESCO World Heritage site, where wine has been produced for the past 2,000 years. The river meanders through Portugal’s dramatic mountains, vineyards, and olive groves. Excursions along the way include stops at historic villages with charming architecture. Itineraries include dining and port wine tastings at Quintas, the ancient rural vineyards. There are also guided tours of quaint historic towns and museums.
Understanding The Pricing Charts
The prices in this chart are based on double occupancy. The upgrade costs for a cabin with a balcony are per person. The value of the incentive is broken down per day, per person. True per diem will include the savings of incentives/discounts offered at the time of research as well as the imputed value of items that are not included.
Prices and details reflect information available at the time of research. Cruise lines offer varying incentives with differing time limits or deadlines, and it is best to check with a travel agent or the cruise company’s website. The incentives that are included in the charts were current at the time they were compiled and may no longer apply or there may be a new special offer.
