Discover Portugal’s most enchanting river valley in complete comfort. Sail through the golden landscapes of the Douro, where terraced vineyards cling to dramatic hillsides and centuries-old traditions remain beautifully preserved. From world-famous Port wine to magnificent baroque palaces, this is a journey rich in flavour, culture and effortless luxury.

A Journey Through Portugal’s Soul

Your holiday begins with a relaxing overnight stay in Porto before boarding the stylish PORTO MIRANTE, your premium floating hotel for seven unforgettable nights. Glide along one of Europe’s most scenic rivers, pausing to explore historic towns, elegant estates and authentic villages where life unfolds at a gentler pace.

Each day blends guided cultural discovery with time to relax on board — perhaps with a glass of chilled vinho verde on the sun deck as the vineyards drift by.
