Find answers to some of the most common questions about river cruising here.
The Avalon Alegria has a maximum capacity of 202 passengers, so no more than that.
No, the Vida Portugal: Vineyards & Villages along the Douro is a round trip beginning and ending in Porto. Therefore no return cruise is necessary.
Portugal has a Mediterranean climate and has average temperatures of 10 -12°C. This is subject to change depending on the time of your cruise, of course. So we’d recommend researching the weather forecast nearer the time for more accurate predictions.
