    A true five star cruise in every respect. The crew were constantly in cleaning mode and cabins were cleaned twice daily. Even the hull was scrubbed. The food was imaginative and plentiful as was the wine. The crew all spoke English and great care taken in seating. The Douro scenery was impressive. Great value for money.and overall a wonderful experience.

    Excellent staff, very efficient, friendly and helpful. Meals were top class , with good wine selection. On board entertainment was varied and good. Itinerary was average, because the boat sailed during the day and town visit time was , therefore, insufficient, except for Salamanca which was a full day visit. Cabins were tiny and the beds too small.

    Wonderful service and a very friendly crew. The excursions were well planned and timely. The food was excellent. One issue was the separation of nationalities/languages with resulted in not being able to get to know/learn more about people from other countries. Other than that, it was a terrific adventure.
