If you are feeling tired of winter, start planning something wonderful for the summer: a week or two in Portugal and Spain. Experience all that the region has to offer on this river cruise. This cruise offers an intimate experience of a smaller ship, so that you can float through the countryside with every amenity at your fingertips. Further, you'll be invited to extend your trip with optional add-ons of three nights at either end of the trip in two iconic cities: Madrid and Lisbon.
Taste wines from these vineyards and discover the timeless traditions of Portuguese winemaking throughout your journey before visiting some of Spain’s glorious cities: the golden-hued city of Salamanca, the ancient walled city of Toledo, and cosmopolitan Madrid, renowned for its world-class museums, stately gardens and lively tapas bars.
This itinerary, which includes five ports, is packed with something for everyone:
Timeless elegance spills from the decks of the AmaVida, a ship that debuted on Portugal and Spain’s Douro River in 2013. Rust and gold color schemes bring together the Douro’s breathtaking sunsets and a sepia hue that conjures timeworn snapshots of the world’s oldest demarcated wine region. Most staterooms feature balconies from which to enjoy views of terraced vineyards, as well as Entertainment-On-Demand, climate-controlled air conditioning and an in-room safe. As a member of La Chaîne des Rôtisseurs, the exclusive international culinary society, AmaVida will treat you to exquisite, locally inspired cuisine paired with unlimited local wine—and the region’s signature Port—as well as beer and soft drinks with lunch and dinner in the Main Restaurant.
