Douro River Portugal All-Lesbian Cruise '24

May 8 – 15, 2024
Avalon Waterways Alegria

Douro Lesbian River Cruise 2024 Rambling vineyards and charming native farms cling to the steep sides of the Douro River Valley, creating an incomparable backdrop to one of Europe’s most unspoiled regions and to Port country—the world’s oldest demarcated wine region. Sail roundtrip from Porto, the beautiful “City of Bridges”; visit Barca d’Alva, the last Portuguese village along the Douro; and marvel at Salamanca, the UNESCO-designated “Golden City.” Taste wines from historic wineries and soak up the genuine beauty of one of Europe’s most unadulterated landscapes.

 

Porto Douro river lesbian cruise

 

Like a blue ribbon, threading through the green Douro Valley, the River Douro carries you through some of Portugal’s most legendary landscapes. Meaning "River of Gold", the Douro River lives up to its name by revealing priceless gems along sloping vineyards and sleepy villages where rugged landscapes have been tamed for centuries to produce a bounty of wines and cuisine. Be swept away by Douro’s timeless treasures and traditions, family farms and fevered Fado music, and mouth-watering culinary creations in the world’s oldest demarcated wine region.
