Overview

Enjoy a unique tour of the Golden River where the beauty of the landscape and the charm of the region merge to create an unforgettable experience.

We depart from Cais do Ouro, a meeting point of stories and traditions. We contemplate the beauty of Afurada, with typical houses and connection to fishing. We pass through 6 bridges that are much more than buildings, they are ties of connection between people and places, witnesses of a rich and dynamic past.

During the journey, you will have the opportunity to admire the Ribeira do Porto, with its vibrant soul and unique colors, and V N Gaia, with the wine caves of Porto, where time is measured in barrels

At sunset, the Douro dresses in magical tones, the sky burns in warm colors and the river reflects the beauty of this unique moment. A toast with Porto wine aboard celebrates this gift from nature.

On our cruise, you will meet other travellers and share authentic experiences. We create a welcoming environment.

Mosteiro da Serra do Pilar (Pass by)
The Serra do Pilar Monastery is an austere 17th century church. It has been classified by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site since 1996. The Church, classified as a National Monument, stands out for its circular plan, covered by an imposing hemispherical vault, surrounded by a balcony and crowned by a lantern. Inside, the gilded and white carved work stands out. It preserves a beautiful cloister, also classified as a National Monument, with a circular vault with a central rib supported by 36 Ionic columns. This Mannerist monastery is a unique example in Portugal, as the church and cloister are circular in plan, a model originating from civil architecture. Its geographical location was crucial in 1809, during the invasions by Napoleonic troops and in 1832-33 as a military base during the liberal struggles. Elevated to the category of fortress, it has since been converted into military barracks
Ponte D. Maria Pia (Pass by)
The D. Maria Pia Bridge is a railway infrastructure, which carried the Northern Line over the Douro River, between the cities of Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia, in the North of Portugal. It was inaugurated on November 4, 1877 and closed on June 24, 1991, having been replaced by Ponte de SĆ£o JoĆ£o.
