Introducing the all-new Avalon Alegria built exclusively to sail the spectacular Douro River, meaning ‘River of Gold’. You’ll discover why as you cruise along the world’s oldest demarcated Wine region which will reveal sloping vineyards, rustic villages, granite bluffs, ancient architecture and of course culinary delights and its legendary Port.
Before sailing, begin your vacation your way with a three-night stay in beautiful Lisbon, the capital of Portugal. Enjoy guided sightseeing to see the city highlights, including Belem Tower and the Monument to the Discoveries. Join an excursion to magnificent Palacio Nacional de Sintra. Stop in Coimbra for a city sightseeing tour before reaching Porto where you will board your Avalon Suite Ship to start a delightful river cruise across Portugal!
The River Douro takes you through some of the most renowned scenery in Portugal, resembling a blue ribbon winding through the verdant Douro Valley, revealing magnificent treasures throughout sloping vineyards and peaceful communities where untamed nature have been subdued for years to yield an abundance of wines and food. Experience the world's oldest demarcated wine region, the Douro, with its timeless treasures and traditions, family farms, feverish Fado music, and mouthwatering culinary masterpieces. Come along on board the newest addition to our award-winning fleet of Suite Ships, the Avalon Alegria.
