A panoramic view of Porto

A panoramic view of Porto

This morning, we'll explore Porto on a coach tour of the city, passing through the terraced streets of the old town and taking in the charming atmosphere. Along the way, we will pause to appreciate the stunning architecture, bell towers, baroque churches, and intricate tiles that are typical of traditional Portugal. Including the Porto Cathedral, situated in the elevated Batalha district, that stands beside the historic walls that once safeguarded the city. Its façade resembles that of a fortress, featuring defensive battlements. Originally built in the 12th century, this landmark has undergone several renovations throughout the years.

This afternoon, we’ll set sail for Régua, giving us the perfect opportunity to enjoy the ship's five-star facilities - enjoy the scenery along the Douro whilst chatting with fellow explorers on the sun deck, take a dip in the refreshing splash pool or head to the bar for a cool drink.

After docking this evening in the charming town of Peso da Régua, we'll visit the 126-acre Quinta da Pacheca, known as the first quinta to bottle wine under the name of its owner, the aristocrat Mariana Pacheco Pereira. The estate dates back to the 18th century and is one of the most beautiful properties in the region. Here we'll stop for dinner accompanied by a selection of their wines, while enjoying dramatic views over the Douro.
