Where’s William?
Summer is finally here and the warm weather has been taking me back to my last visit to the beautiful Douro in Portugal, on board Emerald Cruises’ innovative Star-Ship, Emerald Radiance.
I was lucky enough to be on board for the Secrets of the Douro 􏰀-day river cruise while we were filming ‘Cruising with Jane McDonald’ – and of course, I had to get a photo!
The Douro river is stunning. It makes for an incredibly relaxing river cruise through beautiful scenery and outstanding vistas, with vineyards scattered along the riverbanks where famous Port wine grapes are grown.
Along the journey, you can enjoy several excursions, including visiting Lamego, Salamanca in Spain and Mateus - the home of its famous Rose wine. Emerald Radiance stays in dock overnight in many of the ports to really make the most of the time spent there.
I also have to mention the impressive architecture -
I have sailed many of Europe’s rivers and the locks along the Douro are an engineering wonder, also the bridges are some of the most beautiful I’ve seen.
We currently have some incredible offers available on Emerald Cruises’ Douro river cruises for both Scenic
and Emerald Cruises. In our Summer Savings Event on European river cruises departing before 30th June 2023, the second guest sails free!
Offer ends 􏰁􏰂th August 􏰃􏰂􏰃􏰃. Find out more at scenic.co.uk or emeraldcruises.co.uk
