With fewer guests on board, we have space for luxurious amenities. Relax with a soothing massage or visit the hair salon after a day of exploring, stay in shape with a small group wellness activity led by a professionally trained Wellness Host, work out in the fitness room or watch breathtaking castles glide by while enjoying a cocktail up on the Sun Deck. You can also take a dip in our sun-deck pool with a swim-up bar.
On any of our ships, you can also recharge from the comfort of your stateroom by watching a Hollywood blockbuster or a variety of other English-language programming on your personal Entertainment-On-Demand system.
While most are familiar with the Portuguese Port wines did you know that there is also a green Portuguese wine.
Vinho Verde wines are generally considered young (they are bottled within 3-6 months after harvest as opposed to a myriad of others which take years), Vinho Verde has stood the test of time—this region has been producing wines for over 2,000 years!
Of course, as this wine is grown among the lush green hilltops of the Douro Valley, perhaps it is even the remarkable image of the green rolling hills that lends Vinho Verde its green name. The wines of Vinho Verde are extremely versatile and come in red, white and rosé.
A crisp, vibrant wine, with low alcohol content, Verho Verde (pronounced Veeng-yo Vaird) is one of the most versatile wines you’ll ever enjoy.

They also offer different activity levels for gentle, regular and active walkers, as well as guided hiking and biking tours. The choice is yours.
The majority of the ship’s 51 staterooms feature floor-to-ceiling views, allowing you to witness the terraced vineyards and rolling hills along the river from the comfort of your private accommodations.

The ship’s spacious public areas are adorned with vibrant Portuguese ceramics, while the Sun Deck invites you to relax in the pool or on a comfortable lounge chair. With a fitness room and a spa, you can rejuvenate with a vigorous workout or a restorative massage. Savor regionally inspired cuisine and local wines in the Main Restaurant, then cap your evening with live entertainment in the lounge.
