Art, Heritage and Flavour across Portugal and France
Cruise the enchanting Douro and Rhône and Saône rivers across Europe, framed by the timeless charm of Lisbon and the French Riviera allure of Nice
Begin your unforgettable 21-day journey in Portugal and three-night stay in the historic capital, Lisbon. Explore the city’s charming streets, before joining your luxury Emerald Star-Ship for a cruise along Portugal’s Douro River. As you explore this delightful ‘River of Gold,’ a tableau of terraced vineyards, quaint villages and centuries-old towns slowly unfurls. Glide through the World Heritage-listed Douro Valley, birthplace of Port wine and delight in guided city walks and wine tastings. Immersive cultural experiences on board, including mosaic tile painting, truly connect you with Portuguese traditions.
Continue your luxury river cruise in Southern France, along the beautiful Rhône and Saône rivers. Your journey begins in Lyon, a historical city shaped by Roman heritage and gastronomic excellence. Cruise through the heart of Provence, bewitched by landscapes of picturesque vineyards and Alpine foothills that have inspired artists, like Van Gogh, for generations. Savour authentic flavours including an exclusive Provençal dinner on board hosted by a renowned French chef and wine tastings. Enjoy a classical concert in ancient Avignon and explore Arles, a former Phoenician port where Roman legacies prevail. Then along the Mediterranean’s Côte D’Azur, enjoy three nights in Nice, with a guided tour of glitzy Monaco and Monte Carlo and time at leisure – a marvelous finale to your remarkable Portugal and France experience.
