Lisbon and an Enchanting Douro River Cruise

We love...

Stepping straight into the storybook pages of Sintra, with its gem-coloured castles and hilltop palaces. Sipping a glass of port on deck as we cruise past the terraced vineyards of the beautiful Douro Valley.

Port tastings and riverside lunches, city tours and castle visits, fado and flamenco shows… a whole host of crowd-pleasing experiences await on this tour of Lisbon and the Douro Valley. Begin with a Lisbon city break. It's one of the oldest capitals of the world - we'll enjoy a city tour and a side trip to the fairytale palaces at Sintra. Then, travel north to Porto to embark on a Douro River cruise. Admire UNESCO-protected landscapes of steeply terraced vineyards and traditional towns from the sun-drenched deck, and step ashore to explore medieval towns and cosy wineries. The perfect mix of sightseeing, scenery and relaxation.

Day 2 - Lisbon

A canvas of canary yellow trams, periwinkle-blue tiles and white-domed churches, Lisbon is a colourful city - and one of the oldest capitals in the world. It’s built across seven hillsides, with historic neighbourhoods linked by winding cobbled streets. We spend the morning exploring on an included Lisbon city tour, stopping to admire painted shopfronts, ornate squares and medieval backstreets. The cherry on the top will be ginjinha tasting - it’s a delicious local liqueur of sour cherries, sugar and cinnamon. The afternoon is free to explore on your own.

Day 3 - Sintra

Nestled in the cooler foothills of the Serra del Sintra outside Lisbon, visiting the UNESCO-listed town of Sintra is like walking into a childhood fairytale.

If there’s time, we’ll stop off in the coastal towns of Estoril and Cascais too.
