Cruise Down the Douro River Valley with this Full Itinerary (Top Sights and Wineries)

Our river cruise on the Douro River spanned 6 days throughout the valley and reached as far as Salamanca, Spain. Understandably, I held the most excitement to see Salamanca again since I once spent a summer there studying Spanish. I haven’t been back to the region since 2012, so navigating down the Douro River felt like a homecoming of sorts.

Our Itinerary:

  • Exploring the Baixa district of Porto, Portugal

  • Touring Casa de Mateus via Cais da Régua

  • Visiting Salamanca via Cais de Barca de Alva

  • Exploring picturesque São João da Pesqueira

  • Régua, Pinhão, and Lamego
