The Douro is, in my opinion, one of the most beautiful rivers in Europe to cruise along, and I have included some of my photos at the bottom of the page. This is a great opportunity for solo travellers to experience the Douro, and you get so much for your money, including door-to-door transport, sole use of a cabin, drinks, shore excursions, and Saga’s optional travel insurance. When you have read the details below you just need to call GoCruise & Travel with Ian on 08002922850 or 01455821770 to book your holiday or get further information.
