Douro River Cruise: Porto to Barca d'Alva
The Douro is one of Europe's most beautiful rivers, carving through granite gorges and terraced vineyards on its way from Spain to the Atlantic at Porto. This seven-night cruise sails upstream to Barca d'Alva on the Spanish border and back again.
With just 36 guests the ship feels more like a floating country house than a cruise, and the itinerary leaves time for the region's palaces, quintas and medieval towns as well as the river itself.
