Delightful Douro Cruise Review

“This cruise was everything I expected, having travelled with Scenic before. The Scenic Azure is a beautiful ship – a bit smaller than what I would deem usual for them but also less full, so everything evens out. A truly lovely all-inclusive experience; food was amazing and drinks delivered promptly when requested. The itinerary was lovely also, with plenty of unique excursions that allowed me to dive into local culture in ways I hadn’t before.”

Delightful Douro FAQ

What size is the Scenic Azure?

The Scenic Azure measures 80 metres in length and contains only 48 suites to create a more intimate experience for our guests.

Is there a return cruise?

A return cruise is unnecessary as the Delightful Douro is a round trip beginning and ending in Porto.

Will I have the opportunity to explore Guimarães?

Yes, on day 7 of the trip, whilst we’re moored in porto, there’s an option to embark on an expedition to the UNESCO-designated Guimarães.
