The Ship - AmaDouro

<h2 style="text-align: center;">Itinerary</h2><h4 style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://ttand.imgix.net/douro-1-1596566608932.jpg" style="width: 600px;" <span=""> </h4><h4>Day 1: PORTO</h4>Board the ship for your Enticing Douro cruise. (D)&nbsp;<h4>Day 2: RÉGUA</h4>Begin your day with a tour of the 18th­ century Palacio Anadia, or Palace of the Counts, known for its beautiful interior and Baroque style. Inside the house, you’ll see intricate panels of blue and white tiles throughout the rooms and a striking vaulted ceiling that retell the history behind the palace. (B,L,D)<h4>Day 3: RÉGUA</h4>Travel to picturesque Lamego, home to one of the most important pilgrimage sites in all of Portugal, where you’ll go to the Nossa Senhora dos Remédios (Sanctuary of Our Lady of Remedies). The shrine features a staircase of nearly 700 steps, beautifully decorated with white and blue tiles, which the more active adventurer will want to climb on a guided hike. Concluding both tours, you will have the opportunity to sample local traditional specialties, such as bôlas de Lamego, bread filled with smoked ham; presunto, a type of dry ­cured ham; and Espumante, a Portuguese sparkling wine. You’ll then go to the formal Episcopal Palace Museum. Later in the day, savor the flavors of Portugal’s renowned fortified wine, vinho do porto, made exclusively in the Douro Valley. Head to a local quinta for your authentic Port­ wine tasting experience and enjoy the sweet nectar of this fascinating region. (B,L,D)<h4>Day 4: VEGA DE TERRÓN</h4><o:p></o:p>Drive to Salamanca, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Built of
golden sandstone, Salamanca is known as a “living museum,” and you will have an
opportunity to step back in time to the Middle Ages during your escorted tour,
which includes the city’s elegant university buildings, the New Cathedral, the
intriguingly decorated House of Shells and Plaza Mayor. (B,L,D)<o:p></o:p><h4>Day 5: BARCA D’ALVA PINHÃO</h4><o:p></o:p>

Spend time soaking up the beauty of the Douro River as you
cruise to Barca d’Alva, where you will visit Castelo Rodrigo, a small fortified
village perched high on a hilltop with centuries ­old walls, steep narrow
streets and fantastic views. You can also opt to hike up to the village should
you wish a more active exploration. While here, taste some delicious locally
grown produce. Be treated to an exclusive dinner at Quinta da Avessada, where
you’ll enjoy an authentic and traditional dining experience complete with
entertainment. Quinta da Avessada is also a fascinating interactive museum
commemorating the history and culture of wine in the Alto Douro region, so
you’ll have fun discovering all the various stages of wine production as well
as doing plenty of tasting. (B,L,D)<h4 style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://ttand.imgix.net/douro-2-1596811011095.jpg" style="width: 600px;"> </h4><h4>Day 6: ENTRE­OS­RIOS</h4><o:p></o:p>Entre­os­Rios translates to “between the rivers,” and this
small village is, quite appropriately, located at the confluence of the Tâmega
and Douro rivers. This tranquil village offers an authentic slice of Douro
River life. In the afternoon, indulge in a traditional Portuguese lunch with
your fellow travelers in Entre­os­Rios at a local quinta – a country estate –
for a truly authentic culinary experience. (B,L,D)<o:p></o:p><h4>Day 7: PORTO</h4><o:p></o:p>The colorful city of Porto blends the best of old and new,
which you can discover on an escorted tour of the historic quarter, a UNESCO
World Heritage Site, including the Cathedral, one of the city’s oldest
monuments; and the São Bento Railway Station, known for its blue and white tile
panels depicting scenes from Portuguese history. You’ll also enjoy a tasting of
Port, Portugal’s most renowned contribution to the world of wine. If you prefer
to get more active, you can go on a guided hike and then enjoy a Port wine
tasting. Enjoy a free afternoon to explore all of Porto’s charms on your own.
(B,L,D)<o:p></o:p><h4>Day 8: PORTO</h4><o:p></o:p>Disembark the ship and prepare for your flight home. (B)<o:p></o:p>
