Michael and I are looking to do a cruise next year with friends and they have heard of a company offering Portuguese River Cruises.

Has anyone heard of this company and if so where I can get in touch with them?

Thank you x

Sharon, went last october on a cruise on the Douro river for 5 days.
absolutely beautifull and not expensive.
one problem though. It was run by a french company...........CroisiEurope.
Everything perfect if you like the french.
The Portuguese cruise director (bitch) would only speak in french although there were English,Portuguese and Spanish guests on board.
Boat was brandnew with 70 cabins, all en suite and panoramic windows.
Food included was good but drinks very expensive and not included( not good for boozers)
we paid 250 euros per person ,worth every penny.

There is another company called Douro Azul ,portuguese owned, who also started a similar boat up and down the Douro , Guardiana and Spain I think.
Both companies have extensive websites as far as I know.
good luck..

Dick

douro azul do a trip along the algarvian coast now, I read about it in the newspaper a few weeks ago, it costs about 900euros I think, it is a week and all meals are included. I know some people who did the douro cruise and they said it was fab, well worth the money

Thanks for your help guys! Michael start looking
