The choice is yours this morning. Travel south to the coastal town of Aveiro, often called the "Venice of Portugal" for its picturesque canals and brightly painted boats, or head to Barcelos before venturing into the verdant countryside to discover the Vinho Verde region, famous for its crisp, youthful wines. In Aveiro, discover traditional salt pans and learn about Portugal's salt production. Alternatively, visit Barcelos - a UNESCO Creative City of Crafts and Folk Art known for its traditional roosters, pottery, and embroidery - and a stop along the Camino de Santiago. In the Vinho Verde region, learn how Portugal's unique "green wine" is crafted from young grapes grown in cool, coastal conditions. This afternoon, rejoin your group to embark your riverboat, settle into your cabin, and meet your cruise staff for a welcome toast and dinner. ...

Today, relax into the rhythm of the river as you enjoy a full day of cruising eastward along the eastern Douro's most dramatic bend.

The Douro curves and narrows here, revealing sweeping vistas and quiet moments of grandeur as your ship traces one of the river's most striking passages.

The landscapes grow wilder as you reach the upper part of the Douro, known as the Douro Superior. Defined by steep canyons and dramatic vistas, this remote region has recently welcomed a new wave of innovative wineries and rewilding projects. Today, you may wish to learn more about initiatives to restore the area's abundant wildlife and ecosystems on an active guided hike with a naturalist. Some of the animals you'll learn about are direct relatives of those etched in Paleolithic carvings - more than 20,000 years old - found in this region. Or, you might choose a guided visit to Castelo Rodrigo, a walled medieval fortress village with castle ruins, a 13th-century church, and a pillory. ...

Dock this morning near Pocinho, gateway to the Coa Valley Archaeological Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

These extraordinary engravings reshaped our understanding of early human expression, showing that prehistoric art flourished not only in caves, but also in the open air. Choose between a guided visit to the Coa Museum or a visit to a family-run estate for a tour and tasting. Later this afternoon, return to the ship for leisurely cruising through the golden hills of the Douro. ...
