Portugal & Spain Bike & River Cruise: Douro Valley

If you’re dreaming of a Douro Valley River cruise with a rich bouquet of cycling options and authentic Portuguese culture—this is the one! Our expert trip designers have uncovered picturesque and invigorating rides through historic fincas and small medieval villages—including Marialva, where you’ll explore its splendid 12th-century hilltop castle. Revel in a gentle spin along the storied shores of the Douro River, passing a landscape of chestnut trees, picturesque villages, and charming vineyards before pausing for a port wine tasting at an exclusive wine cellar in Pinhão. Cross the border into Spain and discover the “Golden City” of Salamanca with its stunning cathedrals and ancient bridges—or perhaps you’ll choose to pedal into the scenic Spanish hills, pausing for rural lunch of local delicacies in a remote Spanish village. Along the way, you’ll enjoy the luxurious amenities of your Emerald Cruises ship—dining on authentic Portuguese cuisine in its five-star restaurant and relaxing outdoors on the sun deck by the pool as the scenic vistas of the Douro drift by.

Tour Highlights:

  • Unpack once, then cruise the picturesque Douro River into wine country, disembarking to cycle the back roads of Portugal and Spain
  • Luxuriate in the amenities of Emerald’s most intimate river cruise ship, the MS Emerald Radiance
