Douro Discovery Cruise Review

“Our Douro Discovery cruise was an incredible blend of luxury and adventure! We had the pleasure of exploring the Mateus Palace gardens and embarking on an excursion to the beautiful city of Salamanca. Our evenings were filled with scrumptious dinners and delightful entertainment. I quite liked listening to Portuguese folk music after dinner. The ship’s cabins were lovely and comfortable and my husband made great use of the spa while I favoured the refreshing splash pool. The elevator made our journey easy and convenient as my husband has mobility issues. All in all this cruise perfectly combined cultural immersion with indulgence.”
