Why we love TUI Douro River Cruises: TUI’s Douro River Cruises are a wonderfully scenic way to explore northern Portugal — and they offer something a bit different from the classic European river routes.
Sailing round-trip from the colourful city of Porto, you drift through terraced vineyards, peaceful countryside villages and UNESCO-listed wine-making landscapes that are rich in culture, food and wine heritage. What makes these cruises even more appealing is the ease of the experience: direct flights from the UK to Porto are included, and on board the new-build ship you’ll enjoy TUI’s Full Board Plus dining with drinks included at meals as standard, a relaxed adults-focused atmosphere and plenty of time to savour the scenery as you travel between stops such as Peso de Régua and Barca d’Alva, with options to explore charming towns ashore.
