We have travelled with Vantage several times and this cruise appealed to us with the combination of time in Lisbon and elsewhere combined with. a seven day, wine themed cruise of the Douro River.
We had an excellent tour director named Rui who contributed greatly to the success of our trip.
The scenery was spectacular, the grape harvest experience interesting, especially as it led to what are subperb wines. The tours were interesting and, in keeping with the nature of the Douro Valley, varied from relatively brief days to full day excursions. The final day in Porto was a highlight of the trip and great way to finish a vacation
It was a bit cramped but well maintained. The power blinds were a unique addition. Our major concern was the visible aging in parts of the bathroom. The housekeeping staff was prompt in daily clean up, towel replacement etc.
