There's a lot of history to be rediscovered in Lisbon, and in the World Heritage Site town of Sintra, where rich cultural landmarks and traditions chronicle lifestyles of centuries past. Neighboring Spain entices with landscapes dressed in romance, from storybook villages in Andalucía to tales of "the Rock" in Gibraltar, flower-decked streets in Seville, and sun-kissed beaches in Marbella. The Moors lingered in Granada and Córdoba the longest, and the royals set up palaces, elegant city squares, the treasured El Prado in majestic Madrid and the magnificent Alhambra in Granada. Rediscover them all, in depth, for two glorious weeks...

Essence of the Douro

In Porto, colorful houses stack above the Douro, tiled façades catch the light, and cafés spill onto cobbled streets where the city's wine legacy was born. As the river carries you inland, the scenery softens into vineyard-covered slopes and quiet villages perched along the water's edge – an ever-changing landscape of stone, green terraces, and sunlit bends.   On our shortest Douro River cruise, just six days, journey through the world's oldest demarcated wine region and explore the towns and landscapes that make this valley a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Roundtrip from Porto, where the Douro meets the Atlantic, begin in the city that introduced Port wine to the world and stroll among its picture-postcard houses that climb the hillsides. As you sail past rolling vineyards, enjoy immersive encounters with vine and grape — from learning the region's history at the Douro Museum in Peso da Régua, to making Port cocktails at a local _quinta_, biking through vineyards that produce Vinho Verde, and sampling those very wines at a vineyard… a memorable way to experience this renowned river and its wines in under a week.
