It was a great trip with beautiful views , good excursions and excellent meals . The locks in the river were especially impressive. And of course with highly motivated employees on board. We really enjoyed our holiday

Traveling with the Brits and Aussies was fun and there were not too many other Americans on the trip. The food was good and plentiful but not gourmet quality. Staff were very professional and attentive and although all were Portuguese they spoke English well. Wines were surprisingly good and plentiful at meals which was included. I would have liked more evening on board cultural or historic programming. The kayak experience was great and the weather perfect.
