Douro River Valley

New Destination for Ama Waterways

In 2013, Ama Waterways started two new river cruises

to Portugal and Spain.

Both cruises are along the Douro River in Portugal and

the occasion was celebrated with the launching of a

brand new ship, the AmaVida.

The Douro River valley is a gorgeous

part of Portugal, filled with vineyards

and picturesque cities and villages.

Douro River Itinerary

You can check out the

extended itinerary for the trips

on AmaWaterway’s website,

but there are a few highlights

worth mentioning.

Both tours stop in Lisbon, one

of Europe’s most breathtaking

cities. In Lisbon, passengers

will see various different historic

buildings as they tour the city.

Passengers will also get to tour Porto and Madrid. Both of

these cities are filled with historical architecture as well as

exciting on-shore adventures. In addition to this, Madrid is

the capital of Spain as well as its largest city.

Onboard Amenities

Passengers also have the option of just

taking the river cruise and not participating

in the on-shore activities.

However, life onboard the ships is just as

lively and exciting as the adventures on

land. Passengers will experience:

• Fine dining

• Spacious cabins

• Free Wi-Fi

• Ship to hotel transfers

• Non-smoking environment

• Themed dinners

• Musical performances

On-Shore Adventures

For passengers that wish to explore the culture on land,

there are plenty of stops and opportunities for site seeing.

Passengers will be able to tour places like the Jerónimos

Monastery in Lisbon, the 12th-century Romanesque

church of San Martin in Salamanca, and other selections

of Baroque architecture around the region.

Passengers will also spend

several days on land prior to

embarking. These days will

be spent on more in-depth

tours of Lisbon, Salamanca,

and Porto.

Historical Sights

Portugal and Spain are full of historic landmarks.

Throughout both trips through the Douro River Valley,

passengers will see Baroque styled churches, old-

fashioned villages, shrines, pilgrimage sites, and more.

Besides historic sites, passengers will also have access

to museums and cafes as well.

During the on-shore activities, you’ll be able to taste the

local wines, eat traditional local food, and mingle with the

people.

Explore the Cities

At times, passengers will even have several

hours to freely explore cities.

Feel free to take this time to take

pictures, talk with the locals, eat

local foods, and just generally

enjoy the beautiful landscape.

In some of the more modern

ports like Porto, you’ll also have

access to shopping and other

attractions.
