AmaVida River Cruises 2018 - 2019

Explore Portugal's River of Gold on a premium river cruise with the AmaVida. Whether you're in to wine tasting, sightseeing, or just lounging in the sun, the AmaVida has something for you.

Cruises on board the AmaVida

The AmaVida offers a distinctive river cruise along the Douro river in Portugal and Spain. A must-see for wine lovers, a major part of each cruise revolves around visiting vineyards and tasting the region's distinctive wines. This journey is also rich in sightseeing and cultural activities, from visiting castles and UNESCO world heritage sites to being treated to a flamenco performance and vineyard tours. In addition to the region's famous Port wine, you'll have a chance to try the sweet Moscatel de Favaios wine, and learn what gives it its distinctive flavor. The highlight of the trip is an excursion to Salamanca, the City of Gold, famous for its Baroque and Gothic architecture and the historic university.

The AmaVida is a comfortable and stylish river boat with modern amenities including a top-deck pool, a fitness area, and a massage and hair salon. Its spacious staterooms are furnished in soothing natural wood colors and gold, and a high proportion of rooms have a balcony. Daily shore excursions are included in the cost of the cruise, and live music nearly every night will keep you on your toes.
