Douro River Cruise Prices<\/strong> is part of a continuing series of comparison charts and articles featuring European River Cruises offered by world class river cruise lines.

    Why Cruise The Douro?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Most Douro River cruises begin and end in Porto, one of Portugal\u2019s oldest and most charming cities. Some cruise lines offer pre-cruise tours of Lisbon, Portugal\u2019s hilly coastal capital. An overnight stay in Lisbon is included in the Viking River Cruises\u2019 Douro itinerary. In addition, some Douro river cruises include a visit to Salamanca, Spain or offer a post cruise package there – or to Madrid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Douro River Valley is a designated UNESCO World Heritage site, where wine has been produced for the past 2,000 years. The river meanders through Portugal\u2019s dramatic mountains, vineyards, and olive groves. Excursions along the way include stops at historic villages with charming architecture. Itineraries include dining and port wine tastings at Quintas<\/i>, the ancient rural vineyards. There are also guided tours of quaint historic towns and museums.<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Understanding The Pricing Charts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The prices in this chart are based on double occupancy. The upgrade costs for a cabin with a balcony are per person. The value of the incentive is broken down per day, per person. True per diem<\/strong> will include the savings of incentives\/discounts offered at the time of research as well as the imputed value of items that are not included.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Prices and details reflect information available at the time of research. Cruise lines offer varying incentives with differing time limits or deadlines, and it is best to check with a travel agent or the cruise company\u2019s website. The incentives that are included in the charts were current at the time they were compiled and may no longer apply or there may be a new special offer.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
    \n* Per Diem – The rate divided by the number of nights on board, indicated per person but based on double occupancy. Solo travelers will, in most cases, pay single supplements.
    \n
    \n* Gratuities (on ship) – Some companies include gratuities for crew, others leave it to their guests to take care of gratuities.
    \n
    \n* Gratuities (on shore) – Just as with crew gratuities, some companies take care of on-shore gratuities for guides and drivers; other companies leave it to their guests.
    \n
    \n* Beverages – Nearly all river cruise companies offer complimentary soft drinks, speciality coffees, beer and wine during lunch and dinner. In between mealtimes, though, you’ll pay for most beverages. AmaWaterways hosts a “Sip & Sail” Happy Hour which includes complimentary cocktails before dinner.
    \n
    \n* Optional Shore Excursions – All river cruise companies include complimentary excursions in most, if not all, ports of call. However, some companies offer optional shore excursions for a fee.
    \n
    \n* Current Incentive (per person) – Companies offer a range of incentives, from early-booking savings to two-for-ones and reduced or free air. The incentives are always changing so be sure to check with your travel advisor or the cruise company about current offers.
    \n
    \n* Value of Incentive (per day\/pp) – We’ve divided the amount of the incentive by the number of days on board to arrive at a per-diem value.
    \n
    \n* Balcony Upgrade – Nearly all of the entry-level staterooms feature fixed windows.<\/span>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
