Cruising along the Guadalquivir means immersing yourself in the very soul of Andalusia, a region with more than 300 days of sunshine a year, a historical and artistic heritage unlike any other in the world, and villages that celebrate all year round. Seville, the capital of Andalusia and an architectural gem; Córdoba and its Mezquita-Catedral, a masterpiece of Islamic architecture; Granada and its cathedral, which houses the tomb of Christopher Columbus; and Cádiz, one of Europe’s oldest cities—together they form an itinerary of incomparable richness. The white villages of the Sierra, the flavors of the local cuisine, and the vibrant traditions of flamenco add a touch of color and warmth to these cruises that captivate passengers at every port of call.

Italy is one of those countries that touches visitors deep in their hearts, leaving a lasting impression and inspiring sweet daydreams. Cruising along the Po River means discovering an authentic and little-known Northern Italy, nestled among cities of art, fertile plains, and medieval towns. Stops in Padua, Verona, Mantua, and Ferrara reveal an architectural and cultural heritage of unexpected richness, before the river opens onto the splendid Venetian Lagoon, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The City of the Doges, with its labyrinth of canals, palaces featuring ornate facades, and bustling squares, is one of the most beautiful highlights of all our river cruises in Europe.

Designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Douro Valley unfolds like a book amid dizzying terraced vineyards, quintas producing fragrant wines, and picturesque villages of rare authenticity. Departing from Porto, Portugal’s second-largest city with undeniable charm, the cruise travels upstream to the Spanish border, toward Salamanca and its medieval treasures, passing through the iconic cities of Braga, Guimarães, and the Port Wine Route. For nature lovers and those seeking a change of scenery, our hiking cruises allow you to explore the Douro Natural Park on foot, with its landscapes untouched by modernity, for a deeply rejuvenating experience in the heart of authentic Portugal.
