Life on the river A cruise along the Douro River provides the most captivating passage through the history of this diverse waterway. As you journey along the Douro valley, not only will you witness Mother Nature at her finest, but also engineering at its most impressive.
What is a lock?
Top gate opened
Europe’s waterways are not just distinctive because of their history, their terrain can make navigation more challenging, which is why water locks – essentially an elevator with which ships can be raised or lowered to overcome the variations in water level – were designed.

Navigating a lock Our Star-Ships have been engineered with locks in mind, designed to fit perfectly with inches to spare. Your captain is trained for such manoeuvres, but sometimes water levels don’t cooperate and, on occasions, this can lead to lock closures or difficulties passing under bridges when water levels are too high or too low. We always have a plan in place to handle navigation issues in a timely and efficient manner, with minimal disruption to your journey.
Top gate closed
Lock area
For more information on life on the river CLICK HERE
BACK TO CONTENTS
Bridges Throughout the cruise, we will sail under many different styles of bridges. On such days, we may need to close the Sun Deck for guest safety. Our crew will lower the railings and the captain’s wheelhouse will be mechanically dropped to allow the Star-Ship safe navigation. But, with plentiful public spaces available throughout our Star-Ships, you’ll always have somewhere to enjoy river views.
Double-docking
Emerald Radiance, Porto Bridge
River cruising takes you right into the heart of different destinations. In certain locations docking space may be limited and you may find that, overnight, your ship has docked next to another ship. This is all part of the river cruising experience and drawing your curtains at night is advised. You’ll also get a glimpse of your neighbouring ship as you walk through to embark or disembark.
River Cruise Cover
Double-docking
As with any other element of Mother Nature, rivers have personalities of their own. While we make every effort to plan our trips carefully, some days Mother Nature simply doesn’t co-operate and your cruise may have a deviation due to low or high water levels or lock closures. At no extra cost, we have created our river cruise cover to give you peace-of-mind should your cruise be impacted. For more information see page 28.
Our commitment to your health & safety The Emerald Waterways team are working closely with Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) and government health agencies to implement a full range of measures for the health and safety of our valued guests and crew. In preparation for the resumption of our river cruise operations, we will ensure compliance with the strict industry protocols and for further information on these policies, please visit emeraldwaterways.co.uk/assurance Enjoy river views

Douro River The Golden River Rusty golden rooftops and sun-drenched vineyards provide the perfect accompaniment to your river cruise down the beautiful Douro. The third-largest river in the Iberian Peninsula, it stretches over 490 miles, 70 of which make up the border between Spain and Portugal.
The steep patchwork green banks are home to vineyards and wine estates, or quintas, which have been producing the country’s signature fortified wine, Port, for centuries. You’ll be able to pick out each unique placard locating the company’s residences, as they dot the awe-inspiring landscape of the Douro Valley, where endless beauty seemingly stretches on forever. You’ll travel in contemporary style on board Emerald Radiance, our most intimate Star-Ship to date, where comfort and innovation combine with a wealth of world-class amenities. Purpose-built to suit the Portuguese climate, the Star-Ship’s plentiful open-air spaces provide the perfect vantage point from which to enjoy the passing scenery or a cold drink. You’ll also find our spa-style Serenity Pool on the Sun Deck, for a relaxing dip under the Iberian sky.

Great for wine lovers
Where better to enjoy a delectable glass of wine than on the premises in which it began its life? The sunshine truly brings the flavours of the Douro to life, whether it’s one of the region’s renowned table wines or a glass of Port that catches your eye.

Douro River A symbol of Portugal’s birth and growth as a nation, the Douro has long been the country’s lifeline. Leaving the pastel-coloured metropolis of Porto, venture through the enchanting countryside. Terraced vineyards rise from the river banks, historic landmarks pepper distant horizons and charming townships lay hidden in the rural hillsides. Salamanca shines both day and night and canoeing experiences in Pocinho provide a new perspective on the Douro.

If we’ve missed something, please visit emeraldwaterways.co.uk/faq or call us on 0800 270 7017 and we’ll be happy to help. Or, if you think of something while you’re on board, our friendly crew will always be on hand to assist, day or night.

Helpful information Water levels
Mobility
Cruise itineraries may be varied due to high or low water levels, flooding, lock closures, unscheduled vessel maintenance or for any other circumstances beyond our control. If we’re unable to continue sailing certain rivers due to water level problems, we’ll do everything we can to minimise the impact it has on your holiday and make alternative arrangements for the rest of the itinerary. This could mean arranging coach transfers, organising ship swaps, providing hotel accommodation or finding alternative attractions to visit - all of which are weather dependent.
Emerald Waterways welcomes disabled guests but wishes all guests to understand that limitations could exist on board and during shore excursions. The lifts on our ships service three out of four decks, with access to the Sun Deck only possible using stairs. Under appropriate circumstances guests are welcome to use collapsible wheelchairs on board. Many tours are conducted from coaches, so guests need to be able to climb up and down the stairs to board. Some shore excursions may require movement over cobblestones or up and down stairs; accordingly, guests with limited mobility will require the services of a responsible companion to be travelling with them, since crew availability is limited. If you have any medical, physical or other special needs, please contact our travel advisors for further information.
Sun Deck The Sun Deck operational hours may be limited due to the passage through low bridges or other restrictions by local authorities. This may mean that the deck is completely closed for a period of sailing time on certain rivers.
Double Docking In popular ports we will on occasion be required to dock next to other ships, which may mean accessing the shore via the Sun Deck, requiring you to ascend and descend stairs, this will not prevent you leaving the ship or your ability to get on and off.
Health & Vaccinations Health facilities, hygiene and disease risks vary worldwide. To ensure your safety throughout your cruise, seek advice regarding your specific health requirements as early as possible. Further information can be found in the Department of Health leaflet T7.1 (Health Advice for Travellers) available from the Department of Health on 0207 210 4850, via its website; dh.gov.uk and from most Post Offices. If you have any preexisting medical conditions or mobility difficulties, you should inform us at the time of booking.
On-board currency On board your ship, any accounts can be paid in cash in Euros or by credit or debit card.
Clothing We recommend casual and comfortable clothing - for sightseeing and walking tours you’ll need comfortable shoes. For the winter months, you’ll need a warm coat, gloves and water-resistant footwear. Dinner is an informal affair; relaxed evening wear is perfect. On certain evenings such as the Welcome and Farewell Dinners, you might like to dress up.
Wi-Fi Wi-Fi connection availability and speed will vary depending on where the ship is positioned and the number of users, Wi-Fi can be slow to use and there may be occasions when no signal is available.
Plug sockets and voltage On-board electricity is 220v and a European plug adaptor will be needed to use electrical items. All rooms have a hair dryer.
Travel Insurance We strongly advise you to take out adequate and appropriate travel insurance which includes cover against loss of deposit or cancellation fees. Please read your policy details carefully and take them with you on your cruise. It’s your responsibility to ensure that the cover you purchase is suitable and adequate for your needs and the cost of the holiday.
