Few river journeys rival the Douro for sheer drama. Aboard the MS Vasco de Gama, vine-terraced hillsides, medieval hilltop towns, and sun-dappled quintas pass in an ever-changing panorama, and every deck, lounge, and viewing point has been designed to make sure you don't miss a moment.
Days on the Douro are all about taking it easy. Relax on the sun deck as the valley scenery drifts by, with comfortable loungers, shaded seating, a retractable roof and even a small outdoor pool all close at hand. For a quieter moment, the private stern terrace is the perfect place to sit back and enjoy the views.
In the evening, the onboard restaurant serves a buffet of Portuguese-inspired dishes, while the lounge bar – complete with dance floor – offers a relaxed space to unwind. The friendly reception team are always on hand to help arrange optional excursions, and there’s also a small gift shop for souvenirs and CroisiEurope keepsakes.
Your cabin is a calm, comfortable space to return to at the end of each day. Panoramic windows flood the room with natural light and keep the river always in view - a pleasure to wake up to as the ship moves quietly between ports. Prefer a little more space? Suite upgrades are available at a supplement. Provided as standard:
