Embark on an unforgettable adventure around Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia and discover the Douro River in a very special way during our sailboat trip. Accompanied by our experienced and knowledgeable crew, you will be able to enjoy the most amazing views and pass by several monuments and landmarks. After our departure from the Douro Marina and a welcome drink, we will navigate and start gliding along the beautiful Douro River.

On our way, you will have the opportunity to admire numerous historical and architectural landmarks. Do not miss the chance and catch a glimpse of the well-known Foz do Douro as well as Porto’s impressive new cruise terminal, combining tradition and modernity.
