Overview

The journey begins in Porto, the vibrant city on the Atlantic. Colorful houses, baroque churches, and the famous port wine cellars set the scene. From the riverside, the views of Porto’s bridges offer a perfect introduction. The first stop is Leverinho, surrounded by terraced vineyards reaching down to the riverbanks. The UNESCO-listed Douro Valley unfolds in its beauty. In Folgosa, steep slopes and centuries-old vineyards dominate the landscape. The harmony between nature and wine culture is tangible. At Pocinho, the Upper Douro shows its wilder, quieter side: rolling hills, olive groves, and remote villages. From here, the ship sails to Vega Terron, at the Spanish border, where Portuguese and Spanish cultures meet. Returning via Pocinho, the cruise continues to Pinhão, considered the heart of port wine. Traditional wine estates, azulejo tiles at the station, and vine-clad hillsides enchant every visitor. In Régua, the wine capital of the Douro, museums and wine lodges tell the valley’s story while landscapes impress with grandeur. At Entre-os-Rios, where Douro and Tâmega meet, the scenery glows with vineyards, hills, and tranquil river views. The journey ends back in Porto, with lasting impressions of culture, wine, and stunning river landscapes.
