Ship Overview

Our cruise starts in the UNESCO World Heritage city of Porto. From there we will set sail towards the interior of northern Portugal. On the way we will pass through gorges dotted with vineyards, green riverbanks populated by a very hospitable people, the highest lock in Europe (36 metres high) and enjoy unspoilt landscapes. During the cruise you will be able to visit another World Heritage city in the Spanish territory, Salamanca.

    Dear Jean Marie, Thank you so much for your understanding and positive feedback! While we regret that high water levels prevented us from passing through some locks and dams, we're delighted to hear that you appreciated the alternative bus excursions. Our team always strives to ensure our guests have a memorable experience, no matter the circumstances. We're glad you enjoyed seeing more of the beautiful countryside, and we hope to welcome you on another cruise soon—hopefully with perfect sailing conditions! Cruce team

    Dear Nancy, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with us. We truly appreciate your understanding and flexibility during what turned out to be an unusual start to the season due to the high water levels. While we regret that the original itinerary couldn’t be fully realized, we’re delighted to hear that you still had an excellent experience—and that our cruise director Augustin, the ship’s crew, and Crucemondo made such a positive impression. Your high praise means a great deal to our team, who worked hard to adapt and ensure your trip was memorable despite the challenges. We’re especially glad you enjoyed the complimentary excursions and your full day in Porto. Thank you again for your kind words and for recognizing the efforts of our staff. We hope to welcome you on board again soon for an even smoother journey!Cruce team
