History of the Douro – from Portugal to Spain Cruise Review

“We came on this cruise for my son’s 56th and he loved it. He’s big on history so this was an absolute treat for him. We got free time to explore separately and as a family, too, which was terrific. Our first cruise together but surely not the last!”
