Full description

Get prepared to embark on this full-day Douro River Cruise. Start your cruise on the enchanting northern city of Porto, heading for the Douro’s heart. While taking a delicious breakfast on board, appreciate a panoramic view of this city full of movements and sounds. Along the cruise, you begin to realize that you are about to cross a completely different territory and the environment - this is the magic of the Douro Region.

Finally, you will start to get into the region of the Douro, known as the first wine region to be demarcated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, a region where time stands still and where nature predominates in its pure state.

Cross the two dams of Douro: Crestuma-Lever and Carrapatelo, for those who have never experienced, is certainly an exciting time.  Do not skip the delicious lunch on board that this complete Douro cruise includes.

This fabulous cruise is about to end, but not your trip to the Douro Valley! Take some time to appreciate the city of Régua, its surrounding landscapes of enormous beauty and, of course, taste its typical sweets.

A comfortable bus will be waiting for you: another journey full of stunning landscapes is coming... Prepare your cameras!

Arrival in the city of Porto. What a great place to end this wonderful journey to the Douro Valley!

Douro Cruise Fromm Porto to Regua and back with bus
Altogether very good experience: Breakfast und especially lunch were very tasty and very satisfying. The ship was well stuffed and fast underway. The floodgates could be passed directly. The landscapes are amazing. I will make it again and recommend vertone to enkodiert it too.

Great tour!
We enjoyed the tour! We'd have enjoyed having more than 60 minutes in Régua before we had to board the bus back to Porto.

Disappointment
So we booked "Douro Valley Cruise from Porto to Régua with Breakfast and Lunch", but in reality we got assigned to the opposite direction programme, even though I re-checked with booking agent because I wondered why we start at Sao Bento train station instead of river quay. We expected (and paid for) breakfast, but that never happened, not even a bottle of water. After uneventful 1,5hrs bus drive at the highway (no stops to make photos as advertised, also no commentary about where we are and what we can see around), at Regua there was no pause either for advertised sweets tasting - we got hurled from the bus right into the boat. There, after another 2 hours, the first and only food and drink of the day at 12. Food was okay, quite large portions, bottle of red wine was also fine. Occasionally we got explained where we are and what we can see over the PA in 4 languages, that was good. Also crossing the 2 river dams was a nice experience. The total duration of the trip was about 8 hours (as opposed to 11 hours advertised) but that was probably okay in the end, given the rushed itinerary. Our friends booked the same itinerary a few days after us and they got delivered pretty much what was advertised - too bad we got separated. Oh well. I'm not exactly dissatisfied, just kinda disappointed.

Unforgettable Douro valley cruise
Barracuda and the whole cruise staff did an amazing job to have everyone happy on board from beginning to end. The cruise itself was an unforgettable experience and we all enjoyed it immensely.

Douro River Panoramic Cruise
From the moment we were greeted at the quayside in Porto and all along the Douro River cruise upstream to Régua we had the most marvellous time. The crew and the service they offered onbard was top notch. We enjoy both the breakfast and lunch immensely. And as the weather was almost prefect the scenery on route was truly enchanting, enhanced by the excellent commentary that was given along the way. We enjoyed the hour of free time in Régua, before taking the almost new coach/bus back to Porto, which was just fine. An excellent trip, well planned and thoroughly enjoyed and we would recommend it highly.

Smooth porto to regua cruise
We wanted to go porto regua as our hotel was in Regua. It was a pleasant trip. They took our bags on board. Thank you for your help and online assistance.

Porto to regua by boat
The scenery in the Douro is very beautiful and the dams rise dramatically! Breakfast could have been more substantial. Very nice the return by train in the late afternoon. The transfer was smooth and it was a good option for this low price extra.

Great porto regua river cruise
Wonderful experience. A dream come true in the beautiful landscapes of Douro. We still had time to buy candies by Regua's pier for our uncles in El Cajon.

Douro river cruise and train review
My father is a train aficionado and we wanted to take a cruise on the douro upstream porto regua on the recommendation of a couple who had already done it some years ago. It was a nice family day but breakfast could have been better. The dams rising is both spectacular and frightening. A marvel of engineering to raise a huge boat to another level of the river. The return journey by train was at sunset. My dad just loved it.

Unforgettable trip
Absolutely incredible. Boat trip is 7 hours but they flew by, and it seemed to end all too quickly :( breakfast is slightly lacking and dry, especially compared to the lunch! That was the most luxurious lunch I've had in a while. Soup starter, steak main and a cheesecake dessert, wine and later coffee. The staff were extremelly generous with food and drinks! You can have as much or as little as you like. I don't know how they make the potatoes but those were the best potatoes I've tried, and probably will try, in my lifetime. And the views were breathtaking at every corner.
