Superb cuisine, fine wines and excellent hospitality come together in Europe's best-kept secret, the Douro River Valley. Relaxing in the sundeck pool of the S.S. São Gabriel, you’ll marvel at the terraced hillsides and dramatic landscapes that produce the region’s incredible olives, almonds and wines. Onshore, you’ll sip port wine at some of the most beloved estates in the region, enjoy tasty local treats such as creamy pastéis de nata and discover the region’s love for beauty through colourful cities and an artisan tile-making tradition.
