Olivia Portugal Douro River Cruise 2027

The Avalon Alegria sails from Porto for seven nights through the Douro Valley and back again. Terraced vineyards, small towns and wineries determine the landscape. Stops include Porto Antigo, Peso da Régua, Pocinho, Barca d'Alva and Ferradosa; from the Spanish border, a day trip to Salamanca is also planned. For the land programs, you can choose between classic sightseeing, more active tours and workshops. These include kayaking, an azulejo painting course and wine tastings. Olivia charters the ship for lesbian and LGBTQ+ women. In this way, the trip combines Portuguese cuisine and wine culture with a solid community on board. The rhythm remains manageable: river scenery and excursions during the day, local music or Olivia's program on the ship in the evening.
