Vida Portugal: Vineyards & Villages along the Douro Cruise Review

“As a single woman, originally I was afraid to go away by myself. I’ll tell you that this cruise helped me conquer that fear! My room aboard the Alegria was comfortable and classy; I ended up really enjoying the space to myself. Also, my Adventure Host was extremely helpful in helping me book tours that aligned with my physical capabilities (so no bike rides!). I enjoyed the excursions and met a lot of interesting people along the way. I’d do it again in a heartbeat.”
