Portugal & Spain

Join us on this exclusive Douro River Cruise, September 4th - 14th, 2024, and experience the beauty and charm of the Douro River Valley. A two-night pre cruise stay in Lisbon will feature ‘Monument to the Discoveries,’ and Belem Tower, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Another experience will be a visit to Fátima, home to the Sanctuary of Fátima, an important Catholic pilgrimage site. The Douro Valley itself is also a UNESCO site and as our ship passes through picturesque towns, vineyards, and terraced hillsides, we will enjoy delicious food and wine, meet friendly locals, and soak up the stunning natural scenery that surrounds us.
