Itinerary Map


Your River Cruise Journey


Spanning the width of Portugal from the Atlantic Sea to the Spanish border, the so-called ‘River of Gold’ is a spectacular stretch of sun-kissed valleys and sleepy towns punctuated with beautiful cities. You’ll start your journey in Porto where the region’s famous tipple can be enjoyed in bars and wine cellars, and chaotically colourful merchants’ houses and churches spill down the hillside towards the port. Away from the buzz of the city, you’ll sail in complete comfort and luxury on board A-ROSA ALVA, hopping on and off to explore stunning spots like the beautiful Mateus Palace and historic Guimares. The UNESCO-listed World Heritage Centre of Salamanca, just a short drive over the border in Spain, will undoubtedly be one of your highlights. As will star-gazing on the sun deck under the Douro’s famously clear night skies.
