River cruises make it easy to experience the unique beauty and culture of Portugal in a way that's comfortable, convenient, and exciting. Sail the Douro River, one of the continent's prettiest waterways, lined with historic villages and towns, lush green vineyards and farms, and quaint fishing villages. Experience Portugal's stunning natural landscapes, historic architecture, and welcoming people between picturesque villages like Pinhão, Porto, Lisbon, Barca d' Alva, and Porto Antigo. Thanks to Portugal's mild climate and easy accessibility from Europe, you'll have more time for experiences such as river cruises, cruises, wine tasting, archaeological site visits, and luxury rather than for transportation. Portugal river cruises cost from $2,115 to $20,340 for a 8 to 11 days trip. Adventure Life's Portugal cruise experts will help you plan a wonderful trip on the Douro River or another beautiful waterway such as the Minho or Sado rivers.

Adventure Life couldn’t have provided a better travel experience, from the start of planning through the entire tip itself. The agents were very helpful and quickly responsive to our questions and needs. We were well taken care of and the trip was smooth sailing, both literally and figuratively. The cruise line, the hotel, and the extra excursions that Adventure Life provided were superb and without flawsThe price was reasonable when we compared the planned trip to what was offered by others. We would highly recommend both Adventure Life and Emerald Cruise Line to anyone interested in an enjoyable, relaxing, and informative travel experience.
