The Best Way to Experience Portugal

One of the best ways to experience Portugal is with a river cruise; that way, you can sample vast swaths of the country with ease — unpack only once, enjoy luxe accommodations and stellar service all while the scenery outside sails by. And when it comes to choosing one of the cruise providers, many swear by AmaWaterways.

AmaWaterways’ Douro River cruises run right through one of Portugal’s most scenic valleys — sunlit vineyards climb steep hillsides right outside charming medieval towns. Be it the azulejo-lined streets of Porto or the golden squares of Salamanca, the experiences along the Douro are as rich as its wines.

They pair like a bottle of Douro Red and roasted lamb.”
