Scenic Tours River Cruises on the Douro

Looking to set sail on a Douro River Cruise? Scenic Tours offers a fantastic range of sailings along this beautiful river, across 2019 and 2020.

The Douro River starts in northern Spain, cascading down through the Douro Valley where you can enjoy views of the endless vineyards, then ending in Portugal's second-largest city - Porto. It's one of Europe's lesser-known rivers, but that doesn't mean Scenic River Cruises along this waterways are any less remarkable. Nicknamed the River of Gold, the Douro is one of the most stunning as it meanders through spectacular countryside and passes quaint villages and towns just waiting to be explored.

Scenic River Cruises take you off the beaten track to unforgettable ports such as Regua, where you can sample exquisite port wine at the Douro Museum; Tarouca where you can cross Portugal's very first toll bridge; and Salamanca for immersive architectural and historical intrigue.

There are five different itineraries on offer for Scenic River Cruises along the Douro, each different in length and experience. From a relaxing eight-day sailing to a month-long river cruise all the way into Spain.
