Gastronomy of the Douro – from Portugal to Spain Cruise Review

“Me and my wife have never been on a Riviera Travel cruise before despite having been cruising for a good few years and we genuinely can’t figure out why we haven’t cruised with them sooner. Our holiday was brilliant and was one of, if not the best, cruise we’ve ever been on. The food was delicious and we really enjoyed the captain’s dinner. We also ate al fresco most days which really brought the scenery along the Douro to life. We couldn’t have asked for a better itinerary either, the wine tastings and visits to places like the Mateus Palace Gardens absolutely sold the cruise and I’d strongly advise anyone who’s cruising for the first time or for the hundredth time to try this cruise, I know we will be booking another one soon!”
