Douro River Cruises

Portugal's River of Wine & Wonder

Terraced vineyards climb steep hillsides. Historic wine estates overlook the water. Small towns appear around bends in the river.

A Douro River cruise reveals a quieter, wonderfully scenic side of Portugal.

Discover the Douro

Beginning around historic Porto, Douro cruises journey into the spectacular landscapes of Portugal's wine country and, on some itineraries, toward the Spanish border.

The scenery is the star here.

Centuries of wine cultivation have transformed the hillsides into remarkable terraces, creating one of Europe's most distinctive river landscapes.

The Douro Experience

The Douro often feels different from Europe's busier waterways.

It's a destination for travelers who enjoy watching the world pass slowly by—and occasionally raising a glass to it.
