In May 2026 my wife and I would like to travel from Porto to Salamanca and not return to Porto. Is that possible?

We do not have a cruise that ends in Salamanca, as Porto is usually the start/end city. If you wish you are more than welcome to embark on this cruise and cut it short in Salamanca, but there would be no price reductions for unused portions of the cruise. Would you like us to share pricing and relevant details?

Can you quote me the price

The 18th Oct 2025 departure date is completely sold out. We can offer an alternative cruise: Porto and the Douro Valley cruise. Duration: 5 Nights 6 Days. Date: 27th Oct-1st Nov 2025. Ship: MS Vasco de Gama. Cabin: Upper Deck 2 Adjustable Twin Beds Cabin Category A. Price: €2,256/-

I'm interested in a simple sight seeing Douro river cruise from Porto to finish in Salamanca and eventually Madrid 5-7 days one way only. Is there anything available in late August 2026?

We checked on the back end and the only itinerary that comes close to your requirements Porto, the Douro valley (Portugal) and Salamanca (Spain) (port-to-port cruise). It does not go to Madrid and is from Porto to Porto.

Could you clarify the difference between the following two cabins: Upper Deck 2 Adjustable Twin Beds Cat B - C_314 and Upper Deck 2 Adjustable Twin Beds Cat A - C_8? Additionally, could you confirm if there's availability for these cabins for two travelers?

The 5th Oct 2025 departure date is completely sold out. We do see space on the 24-29th Oct 2025 in a Middle Deck 1 Double Bed Handicapped Cabin Category B. The only difference in this cabin is that the bathroom, shower and toilet are equipped with a railing for PRM assistance.

Is this cruise still open for bookings?

The only date that have space on it is as follows -18-23rd Oct 2025 -Upper Deck 2 Adjustable Twin Beds Cabin Category B -AUD 5,150/-

Is this sold out?? It's for 1 Australian adult who does not want to share.

Due to the popularity of the Douro during May, this itinerary is completely sold out. Would you like us to find you an alternative?

We are flexible about where we are accommodated but am looking for a better price.

As there are an odd number of travelers, is someone looking to room in a single cabin?

What does a handicapped cabin means? cause they are available with double bad

A handicapped cabin option, which includes a double bed and is equipped to comfortably accommodate passengers using a walker or wheelchair. These cabins are designed to assist individuals with reduced mobility, especially in the washroom area.

Is there any adult only cruises?

CroisiEurope cruises typically cater to an older demographic, with the majority of passengers being in the 50+ age range. It's very rare for the cruises to have children booked. The 18th of June 2025 departure for this cruise is fully sold out, however, we do have the next available date on the 20th of June 2025.

Really appreciated the combination of cruising and hiking, plus excursions for non-hikers so they weren't neglected. Accommodated food needs creatively, although the gluten-free option - while better than previous experience with CroisiEurope - could still be improved. More gluten-free chocolate croissants! Nice selection of evening entertainment. Never a dull moment; but one was able just to sit and read or watch the scenery go by if wanted. Although we choose CroisiEurope partly for the French immersion experience, being paired with other English speakers at meals worked very well. Our American compatriots were grateful to have English-speaking companions, and for us it relieved the intensity that would have been entailed by full French immersion. Thanks for organizing perfect weather! ;-)Show more
