Porto (Oporto), Portugal

Situated in northwest Portugal where the Douro River meets the Atlantic Ocean, Porto is celebrated for its historic architecture, colorful riverfront, and world-famous Port wine. Today, choose how you wish to explore. Discover Porto by land, river, and air, strolling through the historic Ribeira district, crossing to Vila Nova de Gaia, and riding a cable car for panoramic views. Alternatively, join a guided walking tour through Ribeira, uphill to Porto Cathedral, and across the upper level of the Luis I Bridge for sweeping views of the city. Return to your riverboat late morning and begin cruising into the Douro River Valley toward Peso da Regua. Along the way, steep hillsides lined with terraced vineyards reveal centuries of winemaking tradition in the world's oldest demarcated wine region, renowned for producing authentic Port wine. ...

Regua, Portugal

Pinhao, Portugal

Dock in the historic town of Peso da Regua, once a busy hub where wooden boats called rabelos, laden with barrels of Port, sailed downriver to Vila Nova de Gaia. Visit the Douro Museum, set within the restored Casa da Companhia Velha building, once part of Real Companhia Velha (Royal Oporto Wine Company), chartered in 1756. On your guided visit to the museum, you'll explore its exhibits chronicling the history, culture, and traditions of the Douro River Valley region, from the cultivation of grapes on the vines to the processes involved in the production of Port wine and its distribution around the world. This afternoon, sail through one of the largest locks on the Douro to the idyllic, tranquil village of Pinhao, nestled at a dramatic bend in the river; Pinhao is known as the gateway to the valley's quintas (vineyards) and large wine estates. From here it's a short drive to a family-run estate in the Cima Corgo region where renowned Port and non-fortified wines are made. Your visit includes an introduction to the vineyards and a private dinner with wine pairings. ...

Coa Valley, Portugal

Bus Travel

Pocinho, Portugal

Arrive this morning in Pocinho, the eastern gateway to the UNESCO World Heritage-recognized Coa Valley, and choose how you'd like to explore. Journey to the acclaimed Museu do Coa for a compelling introduction to the valley's open-air Paleolithic engravings, brought to life through striking exhibits and multimedia displays; or visit a quinta in the Douro Superior wine region, where sun-drenched hillsides produce intensely flavored wines, for a guided tour and tasting that showcases the character of this upper-valley terroir. Guests seeking a more adventurous experience may opt for an active outing into the archaeological park itself, traveling by 4x4 and hiking across steep, uneven terrain to view original rock-art panels carved into the schist thousands of years ago - an unforgettable encounter with some of Europe's oldest artistic expressions. Return to the riverboat for lunch and enjoy a relaxing afternoon cruise back toward Pinhao as the rugged beauty of the Upper Douro unfolds around you. ...

Pinhao, Portugal

Regua, Portugal

Your choice of excursions this morning includes an opportunity to explore Pinhao and its early-20th century train station, adorned with blue-painted tiles (azulejos); or a vigorous hike in the hilltop vineyards with striking views of the town and river. Sail to Regua, where you'll have two choices; visit 18th-century Mateus Palace, a lavish Baroque residence designed by Nicolau Nasoni that is now a museum with period furnishings and artwork, a heraldic hall, formal gardens, a winery, and a chapel with tombs and reliquaries. Alternatively, join a local guide for a visit to a local wine-making estate called a quinta, rewarding with a Port cocktail making class. Begin the return trip to Porto, and dock overnight in this verdant wine country, where some traditional farms grow vines on pergolas and fences so high the grapes must be harvested with ladders. ...

Porto (Oporto), Portugal

Today, you have a choice of full day excursions; one option provides an opportunity to explore the medieval town of Guimaraes, known as the "Cradle City"; the kingdom of Portugal was born here after a famous battle in 1128. The city center, a UNESCO World Heritage site, offers a wealth of architectural treasures, including the ruined Castle of Guimaraes, with its tempestuous history and sweeping views, the opulent Palace of the Dukes of Braganza, lush with 17th-century furnishings and tapestries, and the 13th-century Church of Sao Miguel do Castelo. Alternatively, take a bicycle ride (for experienced cyclists in good physical condition) through the Vinho Verde region before arriving in the pastoral town of Amarante, famed as being the hometown of Sao Goncalo, Portugal's St. Valentine. Enjoy lunch before your late afternoon arrival into Porto where you'll cross the river to Vila Nova de Gaia. This evening, enjoy a farewell reception and dinner aboard the ship. ...
