My husband and I loved this cruise for many reasons. The Emerald Radiance was a fairly new and well appointed ship with all the comforts necessary. The staff were helpful and friendly. The river Douro is a beautiful river, and the scenery is stunning. We were blessed with fantastic weather and spent much of our ship time on the top deck watching the scenery roll by, in the pool or relaxing on the lounges. The excursions were well organised and varied. We met lots of fun people. There was a good balance between activities and down time. The food was varied and plentiful. We would both recommend this trip as a relaxing and scenic way to experience the Douro River.Show more
