The idea of exploring the Douro River in Portugal has long captivated me. I was drawn to images of green vineyards cascading down terraced hillsides, rural countryside villages, and the opportunity to taste some of the world’s best wines from this historic wine producing region. All good things come in time, so it was with great pleasure that I had the chance recently to experience one of the first cruises on Avalon Waterways’ purpose built Douro River Vessel, the Avalon Alegria.

This vessel is a bit smaller than other Avalon vessels (102 pax) but necessary to traverse the awesome locks on the Douro. The Alegria is designed beautifully with their trademark Panorama Suites and a new added bonus – an infinity pool and a deck with misters for the warm summer weather in this region. This is an Avalon first. Those who know me were not surprised to hear that I indulged in the “Active Discovery” program on this cruise. Every day, an intrepid group of like-minded guests were either kayaking, hiking, or cycling. It was a great balance to all the wine tastings and pastries (!) My lasting impression is the peaceful feeling I had in this uncongested part of the world where people still work the land in a personal way, and whose spirits beat to a different rhythm. There is little to no commercial traffic on the river and the deeper you travel into the region, the more pastoral and beautiful it becomes. This beauty was matched by the delicious cuisine on board and the bonus of local entertainment (classical artists from the region).

It was an intimate and joyous experience and I couldn’t have had a better guide to “The River of Gold” than Avalon Waterways. The Alegria is an ideal charter size vessel that met all my expectations, and I can’t recommend it enough for a memorable experience.
