Riviera Travel deploys new ship on Douro

Riviera Travel is introducing a new ship to operate a Douro river cruise next sumner.

The 118-passenger MS Porto Mirante will run 10 departures between July and October.

The vessel features a sun deck with splash pool, atrium bar and lounge area with floor-to-ceiling windows, and an on-board fitness centre.

Prices for the seven-night itinerary from Porto start at £2,049 per person including regional flights and transfers, on board meals, a superior drinks package, free tea and coffee and wi-fi.

Three-night city extensions are also available on the Douro sailing as well as on the Danube and a springtime cruise ending in Amsterdam.

Head of river and ocean cruise product Katja Hildebrandt said: “This stunning new Douro itinerary takes us into the heart of the winelands along the river. 

“Complemented by the launch of a new ship, it offers guests the chance to explore this fascinating area of Portugal with its magical landscapes and history, in style and elegance aboard a state-of-the-art vessel.

“And for guests looking to maximise their time away, we can offer the flexibility to personalise their holiday by adding one of our extended city stays. 

“The included, expert-led guided tours and visits will offer a fascinating insight into each destination from a real ‘local’ perspective, while there’s a chance to relax too with plenty of free time for independent exploration.”
