Explore Madrid and Lisbon before setting sail from Porto to experience the historic terraced landscapes and culture of Portugal's UNESCO Douro Valley.
Flavors of Spain & Portugal, explored the right way
The Flavors of Spain & Portugal journey pairs two of Europe's great capitals with a relaxed river cruise through Portugal's most storied valley. Begin in Madrid with its grand boulevards and world-class art, then continue to Lisbon's hillside quarters before embarking in Porto on the AmaDouro.
