The cruise sails round trip from the Northern Portugal city of Porto, where guests will get a feel for the quaint villages and working vineyards and farms that typify the area. Highlights include a day trip to Spain’s Roman city of Salamanca, the seat of the Spanish language and a historic city dating back to medieval times; an excursion to the Coa Valley Prehistoric Museum in Pocinho, where guests can views stone carvings made by early inhabitants of the Douro followed by dinner at a traditional local wine estate; an excursion to Mateus Palace, the historic icon depicted on the labels of Portugal’s famous rose wine; and a city tour of Porto, including the numerous wine caves of Vila Nova de Gaia.
The Emerald Radiance carries 112 guests in 56 suites and staterooms, with a three-to-one guest-crew ratio.
