Few river journeys rival the Douro for sheer drama. Aboard the MS Vasco de Gama, vine-terraced hillsides, medieval hilltop towns, and sun-dappled quintas pass in an ever-changing panorama, and every deck, lounge, and viewing point has been designed to make sure you don't miss a moment.
Days on the Douro are made for slowing down. Stretch out on the sundeck as the valley unfolds around you, sun loungers, a shaded seating area, a retractable roof, and a refreshing outdoor pool all within easy reach. When the afternoon light turns golden, the private stern terrace is a quietly wonderful spot to watch the world drift by.
Come evening, the buffet-style restaurant brings the flavours of Portugal to the table, and the lounge-bar, with its own dance floor, gives the night a life of its own. At reception, the friendly team can help you arrange optional excursions ashore, or you can browse the gift shop for souvenirs and CroisiEurope keepsakes to take home.
Your cabin is a calm, comfortable space to return to at the end of each day. Panoramic windows flood the room with natural light and keep the river always in view - a pleasure to wake up to as the ship moves quietly between ports. Prefer a little more space? Suite upgrades are available at a supplement. Provided as standard:
