Cruise from Porto as you sail along the picturesque Douro River, on board a boutique river ship. The new PORTO MIRANTE will be your home for seven nights as you immerse yourself in the history and culture of the Douro region.
Your itinerary combines the region's spectacular scenery of terraced vineyards and lush landscapes with quaint towns and charming villages, where wine-making traditions are evident. During your cruise, be sure to visit one of the many quintas to try a glass of iconic Port, or discover the Douro Museum which depicts its heritage.
The ship will be docked overnight in many of your destinations, giving you extended time to explore. Call at the small village of Folgosa, known for its architecture and the border town of Vega Terrón, which acts as a gateway for visiting the Spanish city of Salamanca.
