Description

Sail the river Douro and discover the capital of wine and vineyards, with this Régua Day Cruise. To get the most out of the local landscapes we'll return to Porto by train, getting a taste of a different point of view.

Day Cruise Details

The cruise leaves from the Cais da Estiva dock, in Ribeira, Oporto. Whilst we leave the centre of Porto behind, we'll serve breakfast.

Passing through the Douro Valley and enjoying the incredible views of the vineyards and wineries of the area. We'll arrive at the Crestuma-Lever Dam, with a lock that takes you down 14 metres. You'll be able to discover many interesting facts about the various places you'll be visiting by listening to the audio guide included in the tour.

At midday, we'll serve lunch, which will consist of traditional Portuguese dishes, accompanied by water, soft drinks and wine.

Our route will continue to the Carrapatelo Dam - even more impressive than the last one, with a 35-metre drop. We'll arrive in Régua at 3:45 pm, where you'll have free time to pass through its streets and discover some of the gastronomic jewels the region has to offer.

After the visit, we'll take a bus back, arriving at Luiz I Bridge, in Vila Nova de Gaia, after 10.5 hours.

Me ha gustado mucho el crucero de 1 dia hasta Regua. Navegar Duero arriba ha sido estupendo. Al personal del barco no se le puede pedir mas amabilidad y atenciones. La guia es muy profesional y rezuma cordialidad. Estoy deseando que el año que viene pongan a punto el crucero Regua hasta Duero español. Translate this opinion into English.

I really liked the 1 day cruise to Regua. Sailing up the Douro has been great. The ship's staff could not be asked for more kindness and attention. The guide is very professional and exudes cordiality. I am looking forward to the new Regua cruise to the Spanish Duero next year. Opinion translated. Show original.

Organización perfecta. Al embarcar, te asignan la mesa donde te espera un delicioso desayuno. Bien planificados los tiempos para poder disfrutar de las maniobras en las esclusas. El servicio, la comida, las instalaciones y, sobre todo, el paisaje, hacen muy recomendable este crucero

La organización, buena, la comida excelente, el trato del personal, muy amables y eficiente. Un poco masificado, pero también es una oportunidad para conocer gente de otros países. En la parte superior, se echa de menos un toldo o algo de sombra, mientras, llevarse un buen bote de crema, porque vuelves negro. No obstante, nos lo pasamos muy bien. Translate this opinion into English.

The organization was good, the food was excellent, the staff was very friendly and efficient. A little crowded, but it is also an opportunity to meet people from other countries. At the top, you miss an awning or some shade, meanwhile, take a good jar of cream, because you will come back black. However, we had a great time. Opinion translated. Show original.

Repas très bien, A améliore: fuites d'eau sur les fenêtres du bateau avec projection sur la table de repas et sur les jambes ! Signalé a l'équipage qui a posé des serviettes pour éponger ! Il y avait d'autres tables de libre je pense que l'on pouvait nous déplacer pour régler le problème. Translate this opinion into English.

Meal very good, Improved: water leaks on the windows of the boat with projection on the dining table and on the legs! Reported to the crew who put down towels to mop up! There were other tables free, I think we could be moved to resolve the problem. Opinion translated. Show original.

Tudo muito bom, com ressalvas para a chegada e a saída. Dentro da embarcação tudo certo. Na fila para entrar, a velha sensação em Portugal de que vc está pagando um passeio e parece que tem que pedir desculpas por estar ali. Rispidez a uma simples pergunta. Receber bem é fundamental. Sensação de que estou incomodando por perguntar. Muito chato. Na saída, esperar por um ônibus para voltar p o Porto, ônibus sem identificação, e se perguntar, está a incomodar. Não gosto de ser tratado como gado. Translate this opinion into English.

Everything was very good, with reservations for arrival and departure. Inside the vessel everything is fine. In the queue to enter, the old feeling in Portugal is that you are paying for a tour and it seems like you have to apologize for being there. Harshness to a simple question. Receiving well is essential. Feeling like I'm bothering you by asking. Very annoying. On the way out, wait for a bus to return to Porto, an unmarked bus, and if you ask, it's annoying. I don't like being treated like cattle. Opinion translated. Show original.
