Discover Portugal from a different perspective as you cruise along the Douro River, passing terraced vineyards, small riverside villages and hillsides that have been producing wine for generations.
The Douro Valley is a place where life has revolved around the river for centuries. Vineyards cover the hillsides, family-run wineries continue traditions passed down through generations and small villages offer a glimpse into everyday Portuguese life. Along the way, learn about the Douro's long history of winemaking, sample the port wines that have made the valley famous and discover villages where old traditions remain part of daily life. There's plenty to enjoy onboard too, whether it's sitting down to a meal inspired by local flavours or watching the vineyards and riverside towns pass by. With Avalon Waterways, the experience is about more than simply seeing the sights. It's about taking the time to get to know a destination, meeting the people who call it home and discovering why the Douro Valley has become one of Portugal's most loved regions.
