THE PROVISION

An open bar and authentic Portuguese snacks

The cruise includes an open bar—white Vinho Verde and Casal Garcia rosé, white sangria, porto tonic, Portuguese beer, soft drinks, mineral water and coffee—paired with a small selection of snacks such as grissini, toasted breads, roasted peanuts and a traditional Portuguese sweet.

THE VESSEL

An intimate, luxury small‑group cruise

The experience is framed for small groups aboard a comfortable, refined boat that emphasizes a relaxed, intimate atmosphere.

THE ROUTE

Cultural sights and a chance of wildlife

The river route threads past major monuments and attempts daily approaches to offshore markers; passengers may also have an opportunity to spot dolphins as the boat follows the scheduled scenic passage.
