Northern Portugal's Douro Valley is one of Europe's best-kept secrets. Where once vessels laden with barrels of Port drifted downstream to Porto, river cruise ships can now offer passengers a unique taste of this unspoilt area of the country.
Our cruise on board the friendly and intimate MS Douro Prince, which accommodates just 48 passengers, offers the opportunity to sail this delightful river during the festive season and experience some of the local flavour.
