Delightful Douro & Solar Eclipse
Immerse yourself in the enchanting beauty of the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Douro Valley on this unforgettable 7-night cruise aboard Emerald Cruises’ Emerald Radiance, culminating in the breathtaking spectacle of the total solar eclipse.
Begin your journey in the vibrant city of Porto, where history meets modern charm, and set sail along the sun-dappled river towards Pinhao. Visit the beautiful Vega de Terron and discover the serene pace of western Spanish life with quiet streets and lush landscapes. Experience the captivating landscapes of Pocinho, a hidden gem nestled within the valley, and continue to Regua, where the ancient art of winemaking comes alive. Here, indulge in the rich flavors of port wine, crafted from grapes grown on steep terraces carved into the rugged hills, and experience the highlight of the trip – the rare opportunity to witness the awe-inspiring solar eclipse, a celestial spectacle that will enhance the region’s already breathtaking beauty. Spend your final day in Porto wandering through its maze of cobblestone streets, and savor authentic Portuguese cuisine at a local eatery.
