Portugal & Spain Revel in the vibrant Douro River Valley.

From the brilliant green of the terraced, hillside vineyards to the warm-hued buildings blanketing such towns as Porto and Salamanca, you may be hard-pressed to leave the sun-deck. When you do, you’ll be delighted to discover that the limestone streets, medieval villages, and—perhaps most importantly—the region’s cuisine, are equally spectacular.

If you decide that the fare discounts offer good value, don't forget to account for the high prices of summer flights to Europe and any pre- or post-cruise stays you might want to book independent of the cruise line. Look at the potential total cost of your trip before making a booking decision to ensure you stay within your summer travel budget.

Uniworld bills itself as a high-end luxury line with the "most all-inclusive" offerings. Its fares include unlimited premium spirits and wine, all meals and onboard gratuities. Guided excursions, Wi-Fi and airport transfers are also included. Additionally, passengers can take advantage of complimentary wellness classes led by a certified instructor and enjoy free onboard activities and entertainment.

The fine print

This promotion will be available to book through May 10.

As is often the case with cruise deals, the summer flash sale promotion does not apply to all sailings. It's only available for select 2024 sailings in June, July, August and September.

Portugal and Spain River Cruises - Uniworld River Cruises

Get ready for an unforgettable Uniworld river cruise down the Douro River, where you can sample the fiery cuisine of Spain and Portugal. Uniworld’s luxury river cruises navigate the scenic twists and turns of the Douro River on their way to cities like Porto, Regua, Pinhao, Barca d’Alva and Vega de Terron. With select Portugal and Spain river cruises, you could even take day trips to Portuguese cities like Lisbon, Obidos or Coimbra. And if it’s Spain you’re itching to explore, we can plan an itinerary that visits Salamanca, Madrid or Toledo.

With Uniworld’s boutique river cruise ships, you’ll travel in unrivaled luxury surrounded by the finest amenities. Uniworld’s all-inclusive Douro River cruises highlight the winemaking history of Portugal and Spain while emphasizing the natural beauty of the Douro River Valley. As the saying goes, beautiful wines come from beautiful places – and never has this been more true. Continue below for a taste of the remarkable experiences available on a Uniworld river cruise through Portugal and Spain on the Douro River:

• Explore the ruins of Castelo Rodrigo, which towers above Barca d’Alva’s almond orchards and lavender fields. The views from Marofa Mountain are worth the trip alone.  
• Try some of the Douro Valley’s finest wines while experts help pair your selections with local produce. If wine isn’t your cup of tea, have a cup of tea at a local teahouse.  

• The city of Lisbon is famous for the many explorers that departed from her shores, so celebrate their adventures by exploring the picturesque streets of this vibrant city – who knows what you’ll discover!  
• Enjoy a fiery flamenco performance in Salamanca, Spain. This city – nicknamed “The Golden City” because of the golden hue of its sandstone architecture – features the popular main square, Plaza Mayor.  

• Revel in Porto’s booming art and culinary scene – then wash it all down with a locally produce Port wine. The city’s medieval Ribeira district features a popular riverfront square.  
• If your Portugal and Spain river cruise includes a trip to Madrid, make sure you make the most of it with a trip to the Prado Museum, Cibeles Fountain, Parliament building and La Castellana – a long avenue lined with beautiful architecture.  

Individually, Portugal and Spain feature cities full of rich history, vibrant cultures and astonishing vistas. Together, on a Douro River cruise from Uniworld, they pair like, well, a fine wine and cheese. Experience this match made in heaven on a Douro River cruise from Uniworld Boutique River Cruise Collection.

Why a Uniworld Luxury River Cruise is the Best Way to Cruise

Uniworld boutique river cruises takes guests on all-inclusive luxury tours in europe, india, southeast asia, egypt, and peru onboard gorgeously appointed floating hotels.  .

The next time you’re considering cruising, a river cruise is an ideal choice.

What we find most attractive about river cruising, however, is how well it immerses travelers in their destinations. Small river ships can travel far past the coastline to places ocean liners can’t reach and bring you to both major cities and hidden gem towns along the way. You’ll also find yourself in constant proximity to land, always immersed in your destination through the views from your ship. The best part? River ships can dock in the heart of town, so you can step right off the boat and into the action.

Uniworld’s claim to fame is its fleet of floating boutique hotels. Inspired by the rivers on which they cruise, every ship is beautifully decorated, down to the finest details. Each stands apart with elegant color palettes, sumptuous furnishings, original artwork, custom fabrics, and spacious suites with all-marble bathrooms. No two Uniworld ships—or even suites, for that matter—are alike. And everything onboard is crafted to reflect your destination, from the design to the included onboard experiences (think cooking classes, local entertainment, fascinating lectures, and more).

You’ll find the very best service onboard with Uniworld. The crews are passionate about going the extra mile to give guests an unforgettable experience, with friendly and dedicated teams that live by the motto “no request is too large, no detail too small.” Suite guests enjoy the service of butlers trained to the same high standards required for butlers that work at Buckingham Palace.

Arguably, the best room onboard any of the ships is the dining room—not just for the same elegant décor that defines the entire vessel but also for the incredible cuisine served there. Uniworld’s Master Chef and his talented culinary team have ensured that every Uniworld guest enjoys 5-star, locally sourced cuisine inspired by the destinations they visit.

Local cuisine is an integral part of every journey, but for some destinations, food is truly the star. Uniworld’s all-inclusive, luxury river cruises through France, Italy, and Portugal dive deep into some of the most renowned culinary and winemaking traditions in the world. Our recommendation? Combine two or more of these itineraries for an unforgettable voyage through the flavors of Europe.

Onshore experiences with Uniworld are all about getting to know your destination intimately, and they offer a wide range of excursions aimed at helping you do just that. “Village Day” outings bring you to charming small towns and introduce you to the people who call them home—perhaps a local potter in their shop or a small winemaker ready to take you on a tasting tour through their vineyards. On “Do as the Locals Do” tours, you’ll follow an expert local guide through their cities to see the less touristy sides of major destinations like Paris or Venice. And if active adventures are more your style, “Let’s Go” excursions take you on hikes, bike rides, and more through picturesque locations. Uniworld offers a selection of included MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® Experiences, chosen for the positive environmental or social impact they have on the guests who experience them and the people and places they visit.

Whether you are looking for the classic European river cruising experience or something a little different, Uniworld is ready to impress. You’ll find special programs available on select sailings, from Jewish Heritage itineraries to Generations Collection departures with kid-friendly perks. Uniworld’s Holiday Season Cruises offer enchanting itineraries through the centuries-old Christmas markets of Europe and a yearly OUT on the Rivers! A cruise for LGBTQ+ travelers features LGBTQ+ performers, dance parties, themed events, and more.

For the ultimate experience, Uniworld offers the farthest-reaching journey in river cruising: Uniworld’s 2024 Rivers of the World cruise is a 55-day odyssey spanning three continents and four luxurious ships, starting in Lima and ending in Ho Chi Minh City. Combining all the best of river cruising, land, and train travel, Uniworld’s Cruise & Rail itineraries represent the most innovative and exciting new way to see the world. Additionally, a pre- or post-cruise luxury train extension can be added to many of their itineraries. These rail journeys join an extensive land extension selection Uniworld offers, including experiences in Paris, Athens and Santorini, Rio de Janeiro and the Iguazu Falls, and Ha Long Bay in Vietnam. Customizable extensions, arranged in partnership with Adventure World Travel, provide guests with a collection of extraordinary adventures and stunning accommodations in new locations around the world.

Every Uniworld cruise is meticulously crafted to be an experience you won’t find anywhere else, filled with moments that are each more breathtaking than the last. We’ve gone the extra mile to ensure our excursions immerse you in the authentic culture, sights, and cuisine of the places you’ll visit.
