Trip Overview
Savor enchanting vineyards, verdant landscapes, and tremendous cultural history on a seven-night river voyage through Portugal’s Douro Valley.

Cross into Spain on an exciting excursion to ancient Salamanca, UNESCO-listed for its extraordinary array of Romanesque, Gothic, Moorish, Renaissance, and Baroque monuments. Conclude with a full-day immersion in Porto’s architectural diversity and stunning gardens.
