Overview

Enticing Douro 7-night river cruise roundtrip from Porto with AmaWaterways, exploring the Douro River Valley, Régua, Vega de Terrón, Salamanca, Pinhão, and Porto with included tours, wine tastings, and regional culinary experiences.

Rambling vineyards and charming native farms cling to the steep sides of the Douro River Valley, creating an incomparable backdrop to one of Europe’s most unspoiled regions and to Port country—the world’s oldest demarcated wine region. Cruise roundtrip from Porto, the beautiful “City of Bridges”; visit Regua, the ‘capital’ of the Douro Valley; and marvel at Salamanca, the UNESCO-designated “Golden City.” Taste wines from historic wineries and soak up the genuine beauty of one of Europe’s most unadulterated landscapes.
