Lisbon & Enticing Douro | Oct '26

Step aboard AmaSintra, a brand-new, boutique-style ship built specifically for the unique Douro River. With only 51 staterooms, AmaSintra is smaller than most European river cruise ships—designed to navigate the Douro’s narrow locks and winding curves with ease. This intimate size ensures a more personalized experience, all while cruising through one of Europe’s most scenic and untouched landscapes.

Most staterooms feature floor-to-ceiling windows, so you can enjoy views of sun-drenched vineyards, hillside farms, and terraced valleys right from your bed. On board, indulge in regionally inspired cuisine, sip local wines, and relax with a massage, a dip in the Sun Deck pool, or a quiet moment in the elegantly designed lounge—adorned with vibrant Portuguese ceramics.

1. The Perfect Blend of Land & River
Start your journey with 3 luxurious nights in Lisbon, Portugal’s vibrant and historic capital, before boarding your 7-night Douro River cruise. It’s the best of both worlds—immersive city exploration plus relaxing, scenic cruising through wine country.

2. Cruise the Douro in Boutique Luxury on the Brand-New AmaSintra
Sail aboard AmaWaterways’ newest ship, AmaSintra, custom-built for the Douro’s narrow locks and curves. With just 51 staterooms, you'll enjoy a more intimate, upscale experience—most rooms offer floor-to-ceiling views of the stunning vineyard landscapes.

3. Wine, Food & Culture—All Included
Sip world-famous Port wine at the source, enjoy an exclusive lunch with entertainment at Quinta da Avessada, and indulge in locally inspired cuisine both on board and ashore. With guided tours, wine tastings, and cultural experiences included, this trip is a true feast for the senses.

4. Unforgettable Destinations
From the colorful streets of Lisbon and historic Porto to the storybook landscapes of the Douro Valley and golden Salamanca, every stop offers rich history, local flavor, and breathtaking scenery.

I’m Carrie—a passionate river cruise specialist and longtime lover of exploring the world’s waterways aboard luxurious boutique ships. I’m thrilled to be your host on this unforgettable journey through Portugal’s stunning Douro River Valley. There’s nothing I love more than unpacking once and waking up to a brand-new view each day, and I can’t wait to share that magic with you.

Joining me on this adventure is my husband, Jeremy—my favorite travel companion and resident “fun-finder.” He’s well-traveled, loves a great glass of wine, and brings a spirited and adventurous outlook to every trip. Together, we’re here to help make this experience as relaxed, joyful, and memorable as possible.

From savoring local wines at hillside quintas and enjoying slow, scenic sailing to spontaneous laughs and meaningful moments, we’ll be right there with you—making the most of every port and raising a glass along the way. And of course, we’ll cap it all off with a fabulous wine-themed soirée to toast our time together in one of Europe’s most legendary wine regions.

Get ready to unwind, explore, and create lasting memories. We can’t wait to cruise the Douro with you!
