My husband and I enjoyed this cruise so much! The fall leaves were beautiful, and the vineyards were in harvest. The hotel we stayed in was very nice, and we had fun touring in Lisbon. The cruise began and ended in Porto. The ship was very clean, the service was beyond expectations, and the food was good. There was a good selection of wines, and we explored the port wines. We enjoyed all our excursions and especially loved the ones located at the wineries where the views were fabulous! Many of the Portuguese speak English which made communication easy, and everyone we met was very friendly and knowledgeable about their culture and history. We also had a couple of excursions to Spain that were interesting. We made some friends on the trip, and still keep in touch with them. Overall, the river cruise on Portugal’s River of Gold was fantastic. We definitely want to visit Portugal again.
We had a veranda suite. It was clean and comfortable with plenty of room.
