DAY 1:
UK to Porto Flight from the UK to Porto, transfer to your ship and a welcome cocktail in the lounge. Dinner on board is followed by an optional excursion by coach to explore Porto by night. |
DAY 5:
Vega de Teron – Ferradossa – Tavora – Bitetos An early morning departure to cruise to Pinhão for the optional Vila Real excursion, where the stunning religious architecture can be enjoyed. Further down river there’s an opportunity to explore the beautiful gardens of Solar de Mateus, before returning on board for the sail to Bitetos. |
DAY 2: Porto to Regua An optional tour, ‘Discovering Porto’, in the morning, one of Europe’s oldest cities and a World Heritage Site. Narrow winding streets, arcaded houses, numerous churches and unspoilt old quarters give Porto a real charm of its own, while a highlight is undoubtedly its fine port wines, so a chance to visit a famous cellar is also included. An afternoon cruise to Regua passes the lush vineyards along the Douro and takes in Europe’s highest locks at Crestuma and Carrapatelo. Gala dinner on board in the evening. |
