Launched in 2024, MS Estrela brings a fresh, contemporary feel to cruising Portugal’s Douro River. Designed to carry just 120 guests, she offers a more intimate experience on board. Purpose-built for the Douro’s winding waterways, MS Estrela combines modern comfort with the kind of easy-going atmosphere that suits this sun-drenched region perfectly. Her smaller size allows her to sail deep into the heart of the valley, linking Porto with vineyard-lined towns and historic riverside settings along the way. With welcoming public spaces, comfortable suites, and plenty of opportunities to soak up the scenery from the Sun Deck, MS Estrela is ideal for guests who enjoy unhurried travel, regional cuisine, and a closer connection to the destinations they’re exploring.
What’s onboard: 120 guests, 60 guest staterooms, one activity, one complimentary restaurant, two bars and lounges, one relaxation and fitness venue and one essential venue.
