Nico Cruises

The Douro winds its way calmly through the valley, past steep slopes and gently rising wine terraces, continuing ever further into the heart of the country. It’s no surprise that Portugal’s Douro Valley is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. On its journey from the vibrant port city of Porto, known for its diverse architecture, the Douro passes numerous medieval towns. You’ll have the opportunity to explore these on our varied excursion programme and immerse yourself in the rich history of Portugal, the great seafaring nation.
