Welcome to Lisbon; we will meet you at the airport and transfer you to your hotel in the heart of Lisbon. Relax this afternoon and evening or explore the city a bit on your own.

After breakfast, embark on a half-day tour of Lisbon. Guests sailing with us on Viking Osfrid or Viking Torgil will begin at Belém with a tour of Jerónimos Monastery, one of the most prominent examples of Portuguese late Gothic Manueline style of architecture. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, along with the Tower of Belém, where you will stop for a photograph. Guests sailing on  Viking Hemming  and  Viking Helgrim  will enjoy a guided tour of the Maritime Museum, located in the monastery’s West Wing. This afternoon you may join an optional tour to explore more of Lisbon or get a taste of its cuisine. (Breakfast)

Have breakfast, then check out of your hotel and take a scenic ride to Porto. Stop for lunch in Coimbra, birthplace of six Portuguese kings and home to one of Europe’s oldest universities. Upon arrival in Porto, proceed to the dock at Vila Nova de Gaia to board your ship. Then, after boarding, you can relax and get settled in your stateroom. This evening, you can join an optional tour to experience culinary delights at Porto’s famed Graham’s 1890 Lodge and sample a selection of their award-winning ports. (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner)

This morning we sail along the Douro, arriving at Régua in early afternoon. Disembark for an excursion to Vila Real, site of the extraordinary Mateus Palace (the building depicted on the Mateus Rosé wine labels). This stunning baroque palace was the home of the last count of Vila Real; its pinnacled facade, grand stairway, richly appointed interiors and priceless objects on display will astonish you, as will the palace’s enchanting formal gardens featuring cedar-lined walkways, exquisite sculpted hedges and statuary and serene bodies of water. Visit one of the area’s iconic port wine–making institutions. See its vineyard and tour the facility to learn how these unique Portuguese products are crafted, then sample the libation in their tasting room. Rejoin your ship in Pinhão for dinner. (B, L, D)

This morning, we sail east along the Douro. See dramatic, sheer rock formations, picturesque terraced vineyards and graceful bridges and trestles along the way; you also pass through two of the river’s locks at the Valeira and Pocinho Dams. We arrive at Barca d’Alva, not far from the Spanish border, in mid-afternoon.

This afternoon, enjoy a tour to Castelo Rodrigo. Located approximately 2,200 feet above sea level and surrounded by almond trees, Castelo Rodrigo is one of Portugal’s 12 historic parishes; its streets are narrow and steep, and its houses still present 16th-century facades. Here you see Sinagoga Street, a remembrance of the Jewish community established by refugees from the Spanish Inquisition; you can visit the local church as well. As we ride back to our ship, we will stop along the way to admire panoramic views. (B, L, D)

Today you have a full-day excursion to Salamanca, Spain. This ancient city, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a living museum that takes visitors back to the Middle Ages; yet it is also a cosmopolitan and multicultural city with a large population of international students. Take a ride through the Iberian countryside to Salamanca, then spend some time exploring the shops and cafés of the Plaza Mayor (Main Square) on your own. At the local market, enjoy sampling regional cuisine. Your guided city tour takes you to the Gothic House of Shells, 13th-century Salamanca University and the New Cathedral, built from 1513 through 1733. The Old Cathedral still exists and can be visited during free time. Rejoin your ship in Vega de Terrón. (Breakfast, Dinner)

This morning, we sail west along the Douro passing some of the area’s quintas (vineyards), where you may catch glimpses of vintners tending their vines. After breakfast, disembark for a scenic drive up to the little village of Favaios, and make your way to one of the last traditional bakeries in the Douro River Valley. Discover how bread was made in the old days and how it tasted with a sample fresh from the oven. Explore a typical Portuguese village not yet discovered by the masses, then continue for lunch at Quinta da Avessada, a rustic centuries-old winery in the heart of the Douro Wine District (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), and sample local fortified wine such as muscatel. Rejoin your ship in Pinhão and set sail to Régua, where you remain docked overnight. (B, L, D)

After breakfast, disembark for a visit to Lamego, a small town known for its baroque Sanctuary of Our Lady of Remedies, dating back to the 14th century and still used by pilgrims today. Visit the shrine, decorated with exquisite tilework in the Moorish manner, and descend the grand baroque staircase. You also see the town’s Gothic cathedral and the ruins of 12th-century Lamego Castle, with its unusual vaulted cistern. Return to your ship for lunch and scenic afternoon sailing along the Douro as you head back toward Porto. (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner)

After breakfast, take a city tour of Porto, a charming riverside community whose historic center is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Admire its graceful bridges, grand cathedral and romantic 16th- through 19th-century buildings nestled together on narrow cobblestone streets.

This afternoon you have time to explore Porto on your own, or take an optional excursion to Guimarães and its medieval quarter. Sample wines that have been in the making for generations at the historic Quinta da Aveleda estate, or soar over the historic “City of Bridges” on a thrilling helicopter sightseeing tour. This evening, enjoy a farewell dinner. (B, L, D)

After breakfast, disembark and proceed to the airport for your return flight.* Or, extend your time in the region with a 2-night extension to Braga, Portugal and Santiago de Compostela, Spain. (B)

Here’s what we did on our Portugal River Cruise with Viking

04/02/2024 By Traveling Canucks 29 Comments Categories: Europe Portugal Top Lists Travel Stories Travel Tips Trip Ideas World Heritage Site

Portugal River Cruise in the Douro Valley

We’ve returned from a fun Portugal river cruise and have so many wonderful experiences and photos to share. A European river cruise has been on our travel wish list for years now, so we jumped at the opportunity to partner with Viking River Cruises for this Portugal river cruise .

There are so many European river cruises – why did we choose Portugal?

Well, the simple answer is that we had not visited Portugal before. This is a new country for us. We also want to do something special to celebrate Cameron’s 40th birthday.

After learning about the Douro Valley and it’s famous wine region , a luxurious river cruise in Portugal sounds like the perfect adult-only vacation.

The cruise is called Portugal’s River of Gold . It’s a 10 day river cruise that begins in Lisbon and ends in Porto (learn more here ).

This post shares our experience on the Portugal river cruise, including land excursions.

We break down each day of the tour and provide information about what we did. We took this cruise in May 2018. Times and details may will change for future cruises. Therefore, use this information as a guideline (when in doubt, contact Viking directly).

Watch this short video about our river cruise here .

Day 1 – Lisbon, Portugal

The River of Gold cruise itinerary begins in Lisbon, Portugal’s vibrant coastal capital.

Our flight from Vancouver arrives at Lisbon International Airport at 12:00 PM on Sunday. A representative from Viking waits for us at the airport. She is holding a red Viking sign so we easily identify her.

A private transfer transports us from the airport to our hotel, the Tivoli Avenida Liberdade Lisboa . This transfer is included. No additional payment required.

Although we arrived at the hotel before the standard 3:00 PM check-in time, our room was ready and waiting for us. We were thankful for this because it was a long travel day.

The first day is a free day on the cruise itinerary. This means guests have the opportunity to explore Lisbon at their own pace.

The only organized activity was an optional talk at 6:00 PM that reviewed basic details about the Portugal river cruise itinerary. The hotel has a table in the lobby specifically for Viking River Cruise guests, so there’s someone available to answer your trip related questions.

After a quick nap, we went to the rooftop bar at the hotel. The views from this bar are spectacular. We could have easily spent the entire evening there. However, we only have two nights in Lisbon, so we want to get our and explore the city.

Find out what we did in Lisbon Portugal .

Day 2 – Lisbon, Portugal

A complimentary breakfast is provided at the hotel. The morning begins with an excursion to see Lisbon’s top tourist attractions.

We depart the hotel at 9:00 AM sharp. We quickly learn that the wheels on the bus start moving at the specified time. Punctuality is very important.

The Lisbon city tour is a guided tour.

Guests on the Portugal river cruise are split into 3 separate coaches. There are about 25-30 people per coach. 

Guests are provided a  QuietVox  audio system so that you can hear what the guide is saying. Our guide was very knowledgeable and shared interesting stories about Portugal’s history and culture.

First stop is the magnificent Belém Tower (above photo).

We spent about 30 minutes at Belém. We did not go inside the tower, we took photos of the outside only.

Belém Tower is arguably the most important tourist attraction in Lisbon. We did not actually go inside this 16th century tower but we were able to marvel at its unique  Manueline architecture .

Navy Museum and Jerónimos Monastery

After Belém Tower we visited the nearby Navy Museum and Jerónimos Monastery, a  UNESCO World Heritage Site . It’s quite an impressive building (see above photo).

The Portuguese are very proud of their maritime history and achievements. The  Portuguese Empire  was one of the largest and longest-lived empires in world history, existing for almost six centuries.

The exhibits in the museum include historical paintings, archaeological items and several models of ships used in Portugal since the 15th century. This museum has over 17,000 items!

We spent about an hour at the maritime museum. The first 30 minutes was with our tour guide, the remaining 30 minutes was for us to explore on our own. Give yourself some time to walk down to the impressive Monastery (the domed tower at the far right of the above photo).

The bus departed the museum at 11:30 AM and passed the beautiful Praça do Comércio  (Commerce Square) before arriving at our next destination – the Alfama District.

The Alfama is is the oldest district of Lisbon.

It’s the only part of Lisbon to survive the great 1755 earthquake, so it retains some of its old world charm. Today, this historical district is famous for its labyrinth of narrow medieval streets, small squares and quaint cafes and restaurants.

We toured the Alfama for about 45 minutes. The tour concludes at 1:00 PM.

We have the option to take the coach back to the hotel or get dropped off in the city center.  We opted to stay in the city and spend the afternoon exploring on our own. Find out what we did here .

Related – Lisbon exceeded our expectations. Here’s what we did.

Optional Tour – A Taste of Lisbon

Viking offers optional tours at some of the locations. We decided to join the A Taste of Lisbon tour. The additional cost for this 3.5 hour tour is $69 USD per person.

The coach departed the Tivoli Avenida Liberdade Lisboa at 3:30 PM. We had 12 people on the tour with us.

The food tour stopped at 3 locations and included small samples of local dishes.

The first stop had us sampling Portugal’s most popular pasty – pastel de nada (see photo below). The second stop included steak sandwiches and beer. The final stop included charcuterie with wine pairings. This was the highlight of the Taste of Lisbon tour.

We also visited the  Miradouro de Nossa Senhora do Monte  to check out the amazing views of Lisbon (see photo below).

We arrived back at our hotel at 7:00 PM.

The iconic pastel de nata. An essential food item for first time visitors to Portugal. Very delicious!

Day 3 – Coimbra & Porto

We departed the hotel in Lisbon at 8:00 AM. Guests are required to be packed and ready by 7:00 AM because the luggage needs to be picked up from your room and taken to the coach.

Complimentary breakfast at the hotel is included (buffet style – typical European spread).

We drove for 3 hours before arriving at Coimbra, the country’s former capital and home to the historic University of Coimbra . The coach stopped for a bathroom and coffee break about half way between Lisbon and Coimbra. The coaches are equipped with wifi and bottled water is provided.

University of Coimbra

We arrived in Coimbra at 11:30 AM. We explored the medieval town for about 30 minutes before making our way to the University of Coimbra, one of the  oldest universities in continuous operation  in the world.

A highlight of the university tour is Joanina Library, an 18th century Baroque library that is home to 300,000 ancient books. We could not take photos inside the library.

That said, the photos we did see do not properly capture how incredible this library is. You have to experience it firsthand (there’s good reason why this university is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site).

The tour at the University of Coimbra is about 1.5 hours.

After the tour we had lunch at a nearby restaurant and were treated to a delicious 3-course meal with live traditional music (guitar and singing). The food was very good and the atmosphere was quite festive. We spent about 2 hours at this restaurant.

We got back on the coaches and made our way north to Porto. The final drive was about 2 hours. Most people had a siesta to sleep off the wine from lunch.

We arrived at the Viking river cruise ship in Vila Nova de Gaia (Porto) at 5:00 PM.

Above – street scene in the city of Coimbra.

Joanina Library at the University of Coimbra, a UNESCO World Heritage Site ( see listing ).

Vila Nova de Gaia, Porto

Our river cruise vessel, the Viking Osfrid , awaited our arrival at Vila Nova de Gaia, which is the south side of the Douro River (Porto is the on north side). The above photo was captured close to where the Viking ship docks. It’s technically not Porto but it’s close enough.

We boarded the ship and checked into our room. The process was fast and easy. Our luggage was delivered from the coach to our room. We had welcome cocktails at 5:30 PM and at 6:15 PM we were required to participate in a short safety drill. Basically, learn where your life jacket is located and how to use it in the unlikely event of an emergency.

Dinner was served shortly after the safety drill, around 7:00 PM. The captain took us up and down the Douro River on a sunset sail of Porto. After the sunset sail the ship docked at Vila Nova de Gaia for the evening.

We decided to get off the ship and explore Porto for a few hours.

Porto is such a photogenic city!

Day 4 – Full day in Porto

The included excursion on Day 4 is called Panoramic Porto . Breakfast is served between 7:00 AM and 9:00 AM. The excursion departs at 8:30 AM sharp.

Similar to the Lisbon city tour , guests on the Portugal river cruise are split into 3 different coaches (the same groups as before).

The  QuietVox  audio system is provided so that we can learn about the places we visit (the devices are located in your stateroom – make sure you charge them every evening because you will use them every day).

First stop on the tour is the  Porto Cathedral , one of the city’s oldest monuments.

It’s located on a hilltop and showcases incredible views of the old red roofed city.

After the cathedral, our group walked to the nearby São Bento Railway Station , famous for its detailed tile murals. There are approximately 20,000 azulejo tiles on the walls that date as far back as 1905.

After the train station we visited Porto’s most popular shopping district and had about an hour of free time. We enjoyed another delicious round of  pastel de nata and coffee (Europeans know how to make great coffee!).

We visited Igreja de Santo Ildefonso (Church of Saint Ildefonso), an eighteenth-century church located near  Batalha Square , before re-joining our group and making our way back to Vila Nova de Gaia.

The last stop on the tour was probably our favorite – we visited Sandeman’s port wine cellar to learn about the region’s famous port wine and sample the goods. The Sandeman location is a short walk from where the ship is docked in Vila Nova de Gaia.

Exploring Porto, Portugal

We arrived back to the Viking Osfrid for lunch. Guests can join a few different optional tours at this time. Or, you can take a shuttle back to Porto’s main shopping district.

We chose the shuttle back to Porto and spent the afternoon exploring Porto at our own pace.

Our self-guided walking tour began at the infamous Dom Luís I Bridge, where we took hundreds of photos of this incredible city (more on that here ).

We wandered around the city for about 3 hours and made our way back to the ship by 6:00 PM. The city is quite hilly, so we definitely got our exercise. We enjoyed dinner on the boat at 7:00 PM.

Views of Porto from the top of the Dom Luís I Bridge, an iron bridge built in 1886. One of the key people involved in its design was  Gustave Eiffel , the same man who designed the world-famous  Eiffel Tower .

Day 5 – Régua, Mateus Palace and Pinhão

We began the Portugal river cruise up the Douro River on Day 5, passing several towns and villages along the way. The ship departed from Porto at 7:00 AM. We woke up slowly that morning and watched the world slowly pass us by from the comfort of our bed.

We made our way to breakfast around 8:30 AM and finished just in time to witness the ship pass through the first river lock on the Douro River. It’s a very interesting procedure.

These river boats were built for the tight locks on the Douro River. Our captain carefully guided the Viking Osfrid into the narrow lock with only a few inches to spare on each side.

We spent the rest of the morning enjoying coffee on the sundeck of the ship, soaking up the unique landscapes as we sailed up the Douro. Lunch was served at 12:30 PM.

We arrived at the town of Régua at 2:30 PM. The included excursion departed shortly after we arrived, at 2:45 PM. We were a little behind schedule because there was a delay at one of the river locks.

WATCH – Video from our Douro Valley River Cruise

Mateus Palace in Vila Real, Portugal

First stop on the excursion is to Mateus Palace , a beautiful baroque palace located in Vila Real. The drive from Régua to the palace took about an hour. We had a 30 minute guided tour followed by 30 minutes of free time to explore the beautiful gardens and chapel.

After Mateus Palace we boarded the coach and made our way to Quinta do Seixo , located in the Upper-Corgo in the heart of the Douro Demarcated Region . This region is a UNESCO World Heritage Site (read the listing here ) because wine has been produced in the Alto Douro region for 2,000 years.

If you’ve been counting, that’s 4 different UNESCO World Heritage Sites in 4 straight days! 

The drive up the hill to the Sandeman winery is a little harrowing. The tight switchbacks put our driver to the test, but he was up for the challenge. If you don’t like heights, you may not want to look out the window during this part of the tour.

The views from the Sandeman at Quinta do Seixo are spectacular – see photos below. We’ve been to wine regions in Europe before (read about our trip to the Mosel Valley in Germany ), but we haven’t see vineyards quite like these. The rows of grape vines stretch up the side of the river valley for miles.

The terraces reminded us of the ancient terraces of Banaue in the Philippines .

Régua to Pinhão

For those who decided to skip the excursion to Mateus Palace and Quinta do Seixo, they stayed on the ship as it sailed from  Régua  to Pinhão . The coaches met up with the ship in Pinhão at around 6:45 PM.

Our coach actually passed the ship while it sailed up river. The above photo was captured from the window seat of the coach. That is our ship, the Viking Osfrid.

Dinner was served at 7:30 PM. That evening, we enjoyed local dishes and the ship’s staff were dressed in traditional Portuguese outfits. Performers came aboard the ship and played live music while we ate. It was a very festive evening.

The ship docks in Pinhão for the night. We had the opportunity to explore the town in the evening but we were too full from dinner. We decided to enjoy some local wine on the sundeck instead. It was a fun day.

Above – ship docked in the town of Pinhão, located in the district of  Vila Real .

Sailing up the calm Douro River. Views from the sundeck of the Viking Osfrid.

The variety of landscapes was unexpected. One minute we’re surround by wineries, the next minute we are sailing within a few meters of jagged rocks and steep canyons.

Panoramic views from Quinta do Seixo, home to the Sandeman brand of port.

Our big coach carefully made its way up these steep, windy roads.

Day 6 – Barca d’Alva and Castelo Rodrigo

The ship casts off from Pinhão at 7:15 AM. Like the previous morning, we take our time and enjoy the passing countryside from the window of our upper level stateroom.

We ate breakfast at 8:00 AM and made our way to the sundeck. The weather did not cooperate that day. It rained for most of the morning.

We arrived at Barca d’Alva at 2:15 PM and joined the included excursion that departed at 2:30 PM. We boarded the coach and made our way to the historical village of Castelo Rodrigo , a tiny medieval fortress town that retains its old world charm. The hilltop village is still home to about 60 people.

We had about 1.5 hours to explore the village, palace ruin and church of Castelo Rodrigo. The guided walking tour takes about 30 minutes. It’s not very big, so you can explore the village on your own.

We arrived back at the ship at around 5:00 PM. That evening we were treated to a cocktail party with a variety of colourful drinks to choose from. We ate dinner at 7:30 PM and went for a walk around Barca d’Alva afterwards. The town is quite small and there’s not a lot to do.

The ship docked at Barca d’Alva for two consecutive nights.

Admiring the palace ruins at Castelo Rodrigo.

Steep slope in the medieval village of Castelo Rodrigo.

Sampling a glass sparkling white wine that’s manufactured in the region. It tasted like sweet almonds. We’re not sure if the white wine was mixed with the almond flavour? It was an interesting combination. We’ve never tasted anything like it before. It was a little too sweet for our liking.

Our coach stopped at this lookout point so that we could capture photos of these beautiful landscapes. You can see the Douro River in the far distance. That’s where the ship was docked while we toured the region.

Day 7 – Salamanca, Spain

This was the longest and one of the most memorable days on the cruise itinerary..

After an early breakfast on the ship, we boarded our coach at 8:45 AM and began a two hour drive to Salamanca, known for its ornate sandstone architecture and the Universidad de Salamanca  (founded in 1134). 

The Old City of Salamanca has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

We arrived in Salamanca at 11:00 AM. We stopped for a coffee break about half way on the drive from Barca d’Alva to Salamanca.

The guided tour begins at Salamanca Central Market. We sample a variety of cured meats fresh cheese, olives and wine. It’s a nice start to the afternoon.

We then walk to the magnificent Plaza Mayor, considered the heart of Salamanca. It’s said to be one of the most beautiful plazas in Spain . We agree with this recognition.

Guests are given free time to explore Salamanca.

You may re-join the group for a guided walking tour at 2:00 PM or choose to discover Salamanca at your own pace.

We decide to enjoy a bottle of red wine and tapas at Plaza Mayor. It’s the perfect place to people watch and soak up the atmosphere.

We visited Salamanca during graduation season and there seemed to be a lot of bachelor and bachelorette parties (we counted at least 10 different groups that were dressed up and ready to party).

If you travel to Salamanca, you must visit the incredible New Cathedral of Salamanca , built between the 16th and 18th centuries in both Gothic and Baroque styles. It’s one of the most impressive Cathedral’s we’ve visited. It is joined together with the  Old Cathedral  that dates back to the 12th century.

The coach departs Salamanca at 4:00 PM and arrives back at the ship at 6:00 PM. The ship remains docked in the town of Barca d’Alva for a second night.

Day 8 – Favaios and the Douro Valley

The Viking Osfrid departs Barca d’Alva early, around 6:15 AM.

We arrived at Pocinho  at 9:00 AM and disembarked the ship to join the included excursion to the historical town of  Favaios , a village with a population of about 1,500 people that is known for one thing – its wine, Moscatel de Favaios .

The drive from Pocinho to Favaios took about an hour and passed through the region that was heavily impacted by the forest fires of 2017.

The first activity in Favaios was a visit to one of the last traditional bakeries in the Douro Valley. We sampled some fresh bread and learned how it’s made. Nicole tried kneading the dough but her bread did not make the cut. The baker was not impressed with her bread making abilities.

After the bakery, we visited the local museum and learned about the region’s wine making process. The region is famous for its Moscatel de Favaios.

We then made our way to the Favaios co-operative, where the region’s wine makers work together to produce Moscatel de Favaios .

Of course, we also had a wine tasting.

We left Favaios and traveled 30 minutes to Quinta da Avessada , an ancient site that has long produced one of the richest wines in the Douro wine region. We enjoyed a welcome glass of Moscatel before sitting down for a memorable 3 course meal.

The owner is quite a character. He kept everyone laughing throughout lunch. We spent about 2 hours at Quinta da Avessada .

The coach travels through the Douro Valley on its way back to the ship.

The landscapes in the demarcated wine region are stunning. The never-ending terraces stretch for miles and miles – see the above photo.

We arrived at Folgosa at 3:30 PM and boarded the cruise ship.

It sails for about two hours before arriving at Regua, our final destination for the day.

We attended the Captain’s Cocktail Party at 6:00 PM before dinner was served at 7:00 PM. Because the ship is docked in Régua for the night, we decided to disembark the ship after dinner to explore the town.

When we return, we are treated to a special performance of Portuguese Folk Music by a local group called the Tuna Folk Show .

Felicidades!

Day 9 – Régua and Lamego

We disembarked the ship in Régua at 9:00 AM and joined the included excursion to Lamego . The drive is 30 minutes. The tour is only 3 hours.

The clear highlight in Lamego is the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Remedies , a stunning 18th-century Baroque and Rococo sanctuary that sits on a hilltop with 686 stairs in front of it (see above photo).

You can walk up the stairs, as many pilgrims will do, or you can take the bus to the top of the church and walk down. That’s what we did.

After walking down the stairs in front of the Sanctuary of Our Lake of Remedies, we visited Lamego Cathedral  (also known as Our Lady of the Assumption Cathedral) and Museu de Lamego . Viking guests are given free admission to the museum. We spent about 30 minutes inside the museum.

We returned to the ship at 12:00 PM for lunch. The cruise ship departs from Regua and makes its way down the Douro River to Porto, the final stop on this Portugal river cruise.

We arrived at Vila Nova de Gaia at 8:00 PM on the Monday.

Douro River Locks

The Viking Osfrid went through five different river locks while on this Portugal river cruise. This was the first time we passed through locks of this size. They are huge!

The lock at Carrapatelo Dam rises up 115 feet (35 meters) and the lock at Valeira Dam rises 109 feet (33 meters).

We were told that these are some of the tallest river locks in Europe.

We have a few time lapse videos that we will post on our Facebook page soon. It’s a very interesting experience. We made sure to be on the sundeck every time we passed though one of these impressive river locks on the Douro River.

Approaching the Valeira Dam

The river lock is located on the right side of Valeira Dam, in that big concrete box with the black door that resembles a garage door.

The ship approaches the lock and the door opens. It then enters the lock compartment and the doors close. The lock fills with water and this lifts the ship. Once it reaches the top, the opposite side door opens and the ship departs at the higher level (or lower lever if the ship is going down).

Above – inside the river lock. Views from the sundeck of the Viking Osfrid.

View of the Douro River from the top of Valeira Dam. It’s a long way up (and down)!

Day 10 – Porto and Disembarkation

The portugal river cruise concludes in the city of porto..

Most of the guests disembarked the ship early in the morning and went straight to the airport. You can enjoy breakfast one last time on the ship. Viking asks guests to vacate the room by 9:00 AM so they can prepare the ship for the next cruise.

We decided to stay one extra night in Porto.

This was the right call for us. Otherwise, we would have had to disembark the ship at 4:00 AM to catch our 7:30 AM flight home.

Porto is such a cool city. We could have easily spent a few more nights there.

We disembarked the ship at 9:30 AM and took a taxi to the hotel. Our accommodations were booked separately. Because we were early, we left our luggage at the hotel and spend the afternoon exploring the city.

On our final evening in Porto, we dined at a restaurant on the riverfront promenade. The Viking Osfrid was docked across the river at Vila Nova de Gaia. We watched guests taking photos on the sundeck, just as we did 7 days earlier. It was a moment of envy and nostalgia as the ship set off for its sunset sail up the river (see photo below).

We knew exactly what those guests were about to experience as they began their unforgettable Portugal river cruise up the Douro Valley.

Above – the Viking Osfrid sets sail up the Douro River.

What did we think of this Portugal River Cruise?

We thoroughly enjoyed our Viking River Cruise. In our opinion, we believe everyone should experience the luxury and simplicity of a European river cruise, at least once in their life.

We look forward to discovering new destinations with Viking River Cruises. Their service and attention to detail is top notch. We would recommend the Portugal’s River of Gold  cruise. It exceeded our expectations.

With that said, we must disclose that we teamed up with Viking River Cruises in order to make this trip possible. Our cruise was complimentary. We agreed to share our honest, firsthand experience on this blog and social media channels.

Portugal is one of the best places to check out in Europe.

08/16/2018 at 8:17 am

We agree! Would love to explore the south too.

06/25/2018 at 10:52 am

This all looks so amazing. Portugal has been #1 on my wish list for quite some time, and as a wine lover here in California, I’d love to spend some time getting to know Portugal’s wine country. It seems like Viking River Cruises are the perfect way to experience it! I’m sure that it was a nice, relaxed way to travel as a couple, too.

08/16/2018 at 8:19 am

It was so nice and a really great way to experience the countryside. We would highly recommend doing it on a river cruise we Viking.

08/23/2018 at 10:42 am

I have been dithering about taking this cruise, but since I’ve read your fabulous article, I’m ready to pick up the phone and book it! We loved our first Viking cruise – the Grand European Tour — so I’m sure we’ll love this one too! Thanks so much for your photos and excellent reports!

08/23/2018 at 11:25 am

Thank you for this review, we do this cruise on the Hemming in October 2018. Reading such a detailed review is like getting spoilers for TV shows. Some folk don’t want to know till it happens. But to know, in such detail, means a lot to my wife and I because it means we have the information to plan our trips. We know what’s what everywhere. So valuable.

We were spoilt with our first Viking Cruise on the Rhine, and still consider this the best one. But, who knows, maybe the Douro will outshine it! Viking deservedly regularly gets Best River Cruise company awards and their service makes a cruise as much as the cruising!

08/26/2018 at 2:19 pm

since you spent the extra night in Porto, how did you transfer to the airport which I assume was Lisbon?

08/27/2018 at 7:44 am

We departed from Porto Airport. We caught a taxi the following morning from our hotel. It’s about a 30 minute drive from Porto to the airport.

02/02/2019 at 11:08 am

Am I correct that the “Taste of Lisbon” was the only Optional Tour that you took?

If not, what others did you take and did you like them?

Or what reports of other optional tours did you hear from other passengers?

02/03/2019 at 11:18 am

Hi John – we did the Taste of Lisbon tour, but we did not enjoy it. When we did the tour, we visited 3 locations and the food was disappointing. We shared our feedback with the tour guide, so maybe it will be different in the future. We did not take any of the other optional tours. The included tours were very good, so we did not feel the need to do the optional ones.

02/15/2019 at 12:51 pm

Thank you for an amazing day by day experience with Vikings Duoro river cruise. We are taking the cruise with Vikings late November 2020 – it’s going to be sweater wrather, but hope for Mother Nature’s good weather mood. We are taking the post trip on the road to Santiago and hope someone can also share this experience with us. Thank you.

03/03/2019 at 1:36 pm

You’ll have a great time! Unfortunately we didn’t do the post trip, but we have no doubt that you’ll love it! Come back and tell us what you think.

06/27/2019 at 10:26 am

Any tips for traveling with fractured ankle? I fractured my ankle 10 days ago and our Portugal cruise is in 10 days?

02/17/2019 at 7:25 am

Thank you for this exceedingly helpful guide. We went with Viking last year on a Danube cruise and thoroughly enjoyed it. Our only niggle was the we would have liked the boat’s itinerary to have been more easily found – ie if we sign up on an excursion will the boat be repositioning. We wanted to be able to make an informed decision on whether to coach or stick with the river. Of course, the movement of the boat does depend very much on the river levels (especially on the Rhine and Danube) but a little more transparency would be good.

We have already booked this Portugal cruise for later in the year so I was starting a little pre-tour googling and happened on your site. Wonderful!

03/03/2019 at 1:38 pm

Hi Caroline,

Thanks for your comment. We found this too! We weren’t sure how long we would be cruising etc. So, we hope this post helped you. Come back and let us know what you thought of Portugal!

02/24/2019 at 5:33 pm

Did you find the long bus rides from the ship interesting in themselves or did you feel the bus rides were too long? We took Rhine cruise Basel to amsterdam an enjoyed. How would you compare Yangtze river cruise to portugal with regard to time on buses?

03/03/2019 at 1:51 pm

We hope to do the Yangtze sometime soon, but unfortunately we can’t compare it. A few of the bus rides were longer, especially to Salamanca where it was 2 hours there and 2 hours back. But, that was the longest day. The ride was nice and the buses are comfortable so we sat back and enjoyed the countryside.

04/26/2019 at 9:33 am

Hi. Thank you for this wonderful information. Looking forward to our Viking Douro cruise this coming July, 2019. We have cruised with Viking at least 8 times prior to this one. Booked a few extra excursions, but am thinking of cancelling the one to Historic Guimaraes. Any thoughts? Maybe not so much there as one blogger put it. We are doing the extra Olive Oil grove excursion. Generally, on most of our cruises, we have only procured the included tours. I have made some notes from your post. Thanks again for your input.

04/26/2019 at 1:10 pm

Hi Barbara,

Thanks for reading. We did the included tour in Porto, Panoramic Porto. It was great, and we did enjoy it. Porto is now one of our favourite cities!

You will have time to explore Porto on your own, so there is enough time to visit Historic Guimaraes.

It’s a tough call because we enjoyed our time in Porto so much, that I’m not sure we would have wanted to spend a lot of time elsewhere. However, the places we did go on the included tour could easily be visited by yourself after you get back. And you do have a fair bit of time in Porto.

It’s hard because we didn’t see Historic Guimaraes, so we don’t know what we are missing. If you do decide to go, make sure you visit the places that were on the included tour because they are really impressive.

I hope this helps, a bit at least!

05/18/2019 at 12:43 pm

Hi! So happy I found your description of the Portugal tour. This will be our second cruise with Viking, we did the Grand European in May 2018. The Portugal cruise is a close to my grandparents homeland as I will get. They are both from the Azores. Thank you for all your insight on this beautiful area.

05/28/2019 at 10:32 am

We would love to take the Portugal pot of gold cruise however I am concerned that I might not be able to keep up on the tours as I have MS and it affects my talking. I can walk but not continuously for more than 30 minutes at a stretch before I would need to rest. Also a lot of stairs and hills are very challenging. Appreciate your thoughts on whether this cruise would be okay for someone who has mobility challenges.

06/18/2019 at 2:21 pm

I am interested in knowing the name of the hotel you booked in Porto at the end of the cruise. Also any comments on the Road to Santiago tour offered by Viking would be helpful. Loved your blog.

06/19/2019 at 8:51 am

I don’t recall the name of the hotel – I would not recommend it. The front desk was very rude and unhelpful. The room was fine, but nothing special.

We did not take the Road to Santiago tour, so I can’t help you with that.

09/13/2019 at 7:27 am

Wow, what a fabulous trip review! We just booked the Portugal cruise yesterday for Christmas week. No sure if the scenery will be as gorgeous as your photos show, but each day sounds really exciting. We have done several river and a couple ocean cruises on Viking and this time will be celebrating our 55th wedding anniversary. Thank the Lord we are still going strong.

11/12/2019 at 12:02 pm

It was interesting and informative to read your travelogue. Thanks for sharing. We are booked in the May 2020 Douro cruise with Viking. We have taken three other Viking cruises in Europe and Asia. We thoroughly enjoyed their hospitality. The River of Gold cruise will involve more coach touring. We hope the rides are picturesque and worth the journeys.

04/29/2022 at 1:58 pm

This is exactly the blog I’ve been looking for – Thank You! My friend and I booked this cruise with our young adult daughters in June 2022. None of us have done a river cruise, and I’m a girl who wants to know what’s coming and be able to plan for our free time. Your review with specifics as to timing and locations is exactly what I needed. We are going to skip a couple city tours and do it on our own so we can prioritize locations and likely visit quite a few more in Lisbon & Porto. We also picked a few optional excursions, but this really helped me to know what to expect. Your pictures are lovely and we are so excited to travel and bond with our favorite people.

10/29/2022 at 10:11 am

I’ve just returned from the Viking Portugal trip. I was on the Torgil. Your post is spot-on! I enjoyed the river cruise and time in Lisbon so much. Just curious, do you use a fancy camera or just an iphone? Your photos and blog are terrific!

10/31/2022 at 11:35 am

I’m glad you enjoyed the trip and found the blog post helpful. Thanks for the kind words about our photos. We use a mirrorless camera and phones, plus a gopro at times.

02/28/2023 at 3:45 am

4 of us are taking the Duro river cruise. Is the Silver Drinking package worth the price given that it is a Port Wine heavy trip. ?

PORTUGAL’S RIVER OF GOLD (VIKING HEMMING)

Our first ever trip on a Viking River cruise, sailing the river Douro on the Viking Hemming. Was it good, well yes and no. The positives: • Enjoyable pre cruise stay at the excellent Tivoli Avenida hotel in Lisbon. • Value for money daily excursions. • Excellent and enjoyable company, we met some lovely people on board ship. • Informative tour guide. • Good standard of meals, both on board and on the full day excursions. • Viking presented us with a cake and champagne on our wedding anniversary. And the not so good: • Returned to the ship one day after an excursion to be met by a horrible smell in our room (111) and in the corridor. Was told that this was due to the ship refueling. Took a few hours for the smell to go. No apology from the manager. • Lunch service some days was extremely slow, even when we ordered just a salad dish and fruit. • We were required by Viking to provide proof of a negative COVID 19 test. Yet when we arrived, we found that this was no longer required. In fact we were never asked to produce any evidence of being vaccinated or COVID free. Apparently the company had relaxed its rules the week before our holiday but did not inform us. Suggestions: • Can we not have the option of a light lunch? Say a buffet? Somedays we just fancied a sandwich and some fruit rather than be sitting at a table waiting for 45 minutes to be served. • Some passengers were removed from the ship later in the week as they had tested positive for COVID. This incident was of a concern to a number of passengers on board and I would therefore question why they felt the need to relax its COVID testing rules when a week before they were very thorough. So, in summary, would we embark on another Viking river cruise in the future? At the moment we are not sure. Some great company, fantastic scenery, great days out but sometimes the pace was just too frenetic, too controlled and regimented. Towards the end of the cruise we just wanted to have our own free time, to explore on our own. In the end it may be that the controlled/organised nature of the holiday is just not for us. As an aside we flew with TAP Air Portugal. We would not travel with them again if we can help it. We are now back home but one of cases is not and we have still to hear if we will ever get it back. The whole flight experience with them was very poor indeed,

My first Viking River Cruise was late March 2022, wonderful experience. However, do not use Trip Mate for the travel insurance--it is the one recommended by Viking. Horrible experience trying to resolve my claim for the trip interruption and trip cancellation--my flight out cancelled, the Viking flight department (booked my flight through them) was not helpful in trying to get me rebooked. I had to pay an additional $350 to United which was not reimbursed with Travel Mate. Once on the boat, the trip was lovely--just getting there quite a nightmare. Hindsight is always 2020--should have found my own travel insurance and not signed up with Trip Mate through Viking.

Viking needs to understand a number of things: 1. It is in the service business 2. Its customers are older travelers 3. It is "OK" to go above and beyond to help the traveler. No one would help us coordinate our travel with adding days of independent -- pre-Viking-- visit to Chicago. No help to coordinate hotel, no help to coordinate airport transit. Nothing. We were not looking for any special deals just help. No help was offered, given or even apologized for.

This particular river cruise review is not so much as giving a bad review to Viking Cruises as they are as a cruise company well up there with the best of them. This review is to ask why is this particular river cruise advertised as Bordaux to Bordaux Wines and Château actually exist as a cruise. There is nothing to write home about and certainly less to write about the places that you visit. In actual fact from arrival to departure you spend four nights at Port in Bordeaux. The sights along the river are totally non existent. Just muddy river banks. No Château to be seen. If you are reading this being a UK traveller you would experience more sights and photo opportunities crusing along the Manchester Ship Canal. Bordaux to Bordaux cruise experience should not be repeated.

Ideally, this cruise would have been the perfect vacation with my parents and grandparents. Due to covid, our cruise was cancelled in 2020, which then was pushed back due to continuing covid regulations. After having things cancelled, understandably due to covid, my grandmother requested a refund...in February of 2021. It is now June of 2022 and my grandmother has received $3,000 back of her over $10,000 she had invested in this trip. I'm still waiting on $1,200 to be refunded. My parents? Haven't received anything back. We started requesting refunds and it's literally been months, in my grandmother's case, years, in the making. We have saved our receipts and all correspondence where it was clearly stated we would, in fact, receive full refunds due to Covid. Unfortunately, we never made it on the cruise and honestly will never recommend or attempt to go on a cruise with Viking after this horrendous customer service experience. Between the 6 of us involved we have around $26,000 wrapped up with this company. Unless you're willing to make a non-tax deductible donation to a company that could not care less about the global effect of a pandemic, then avoid this company at all costs!!!

I recently went on a 15 days European river cruise with Viking Cruises. There were no African Americans among the 107 passengers. The beautifully photographed book of more than 100 pages, left in every passengers room, describing Viking's many trips, had no pictures of African Americans out of the hundreds of people shown in the book. I was left with the impression that all these omissions were intentional. It seems that Viking does not advertise to African Americans and does not want African Americans on their cruise. This white writer will never again travel on Viking for this reason. The ship was beautiful; the crew was warm and friendly; their attention to covid concerns was admirable. However, their apparent racism has lost me as a future traveler

There's a new option for a river cruise through Portugal's wine country

Editor's Note

Avalon Waterways is the latest river cruise line to launch sailings on the Douro.

The Denver-based brand on Thursday unveiled its first vessel on the vineyard-lined river in Portugal, which has been one of river cruising's fastest-growing destinations in recent years.

Dubbed Avalon Alegria, the 102-passenger ship will sail seven-night voyages on the Douro out of Porto, Portugal, starting next week.

Stops on the voyages will include the river towns of Regua, Pinhao and Pocinho, which serve as gateways for visits to the many wineries and historic sites that line the Douro River Valley.

Avalon executives unveiled Avalon Alegria on Thursday during a naming ceremony along the waterfront of Pinhao that included an appearance by former "Saturday Night Live" comedienne Cheri Oteri.

Oteri served as godmother of the vessel during the ceremony.

"It's like my wedding day. I've never been so honored and flattered," Oteri told nearly 100 invited guests at the start of the ceremony after being escorted into the event on the arm of an Avalon executive.

Sticking with the wedding analogy, the Primetime Emmy Award-nominated funny woman joked that "tonight, if the ship's a-rockin', don't come a-knockin'."

Later in the ceremony, Oteri cut a white ribbon that sent a bottle of sparkling Portuguese Cava smashing against Avalon Alegria's hull.

Avalon tapped Oteri to christen Avalon Alegria because of her work bringing happiness and joy into the world as a comedienne and actress, Avalon President Pam Hoffee said at the event.

"Alegria" means "happiness" in Portuguese, Hoffee noted.

"When we named our ship happiness ... we couldn't have thought of a better godmother than Cheri Oteri," Hoffee said.

The ceremony mostly took place inside the ship's main lounge due to pouring rain outside. It was followed by a reception and gala dinner on board.

Built at a shipyard in Portugal, Avalon Alegria is part of Avalon's popular Suite Class of ships, which began debuting in 2011 and features a large number of extra-wide cabins called Panorama Suites.

Avalon Alegria has 37 Panorama Suites, which offer 200 square feet of living space. That's about 30% more square footage than the standard river ship cabin.

Avalon has long touted the Panorama Suites as a key difference between its vessels and those of other river lines in Europe that cater to North Americans. The suites make up nearly 80% of the cabins on Avalon's Suite Class ships and have several unusual features. Among them: floor-to-ceiling, wall-to-wall panoramic windows that stretch 11 feet wide and open up 7 feet wide.

Founded in 2004, 20-year-old Avalon is known for a young fleet of ships with a stylish, contemporary design, and Avalon Alegria is no exception. Public areas feature modern furniture, clean lines and lots of glass walls that flood the spaces with light.

Among the standout features of Avalon Alegria is the line's first decktop pool.

Avalon Alegria is notably smaller than the typical Avalon ship, as it was designed specifically to fit into the locks and under the bridges that line the Douro River.

Like other river cruise lines that cater to North Americans, including AmaWaterways, Uniworld River Cruises and Viking, Avalon has grown notably over the past two decades. With the addition of Avalon Alegria, it now has 15 ships in Europe. It also operates one ship in Asia on the Mekong River.

Attendees at Thursday's unveiling included leaders of some of North America's biggest travel agency groups, local officials, the ship's designers and builders, and Avalon executives.

Actress Cheri Oteri Christens the Avalon Alegria in Portugal

• April 5, 2024

Avalon Waterways christened its 15 th Suite Ship in Pinhão, Portugal, on Thursday, March 28, with actress Cheri Oteri as the ship’s godmother.

“Today, I name this goddess of Portugal’s Douro River, the Avalon Alegria! Not only is she the newest, happiest ship in Portugal, she is one of the most sustainable vessels in Europe,” said Oteri, during her blessing. “May her sunny disposition carry this ship, her captain, crew and guests, far as they set sail responsibly, together, through scenic landscapes, sloping vineyards and sleepy villages. Shine brightly on the ‘river of gold,’ Avalon Alegria!”

After giving her blessing, the actress cut the rope causing the bottle to smash against the ship’s bow. Present were President of Avalon Waterways Pam Hoffee, Captain Alberto Moreira and the ship’s crew of 33, as well as approximately 65 guests including journalists, travel advisors, the ship’s builder and local dignitaries.

“In our search for the best godmother for the Avalon Alegria – our first ship in Portugal with a name that means “happiness” – we knew Cheri Oteri would be the perfect choice,” said Hoffee. “As a difference-making entertainer – and one of the ground-breaking women who inspired modern comedy in America – Cheri has brought so much inspiration and joy into our lives. We are thrilled she chose to travel to Portugal to honor us the godmother of our newest, ‘happiest’ ship in Europe. It’s a joy to celebrate Cheri and her accomplishments as part of the Alegria’s christening.”

The 102-passenger Avalon Alegria is the first Suite Ship from Avalon Waterways to set sail in Portugal.  The colors onboard were inspired by Douro Valley landscapes and brought to life by Dutch interior designer Liane van Leeuwen. Original works of art in the ship’s public areas were created by Dutch artist Sofia Fisher while four, specially lit artistic showcases celebrating the tradition of Portuguese Azulejos, were made in Porto by Gazete.  

“Today, the Avalon Alegria joins an entire fleet of Suite Ships in Europe and Southeast Asia,” added Hoffee. “Each features our boutique-hotel-inspired Panorama Suites, the industry’s only Open-Air Balconies with the widest-opening windows in cruising and decadent Comfort Collection beds that face the ever-changing scenery. Glass balcony panels on the Avalon Alegria provide an extra, exciting cruising outlook with completely unobstructed views, as does our first Sky Deck pool, inviting guests to enjoy panoramic views, soaking-in the vineyard-lined vistas of Portugal. Even seasoned travelers have never seen – or experienced – the world like this.

“We’ve waited a long time for the perfect opportunity to add Portugal to our robust vacation portfolio and that day has finally arrived. Inviting our guests to sail the Douro for the first time, we’re bringing the Suite Ships of Avalon, the grandest views in cruising and whim-powered itineraries to Southwestern Europe. We’re thrilled to officially set sail on the Douro!”

The Avalon Alegria will embark on its inaugural cruise Vida Portugal: Vineyards and Villages Along the Douro on April 3, 2024.
