AmaVida the Duoro River Cruise
November 2018
Lisbon, Duoro River, Madrid, Barcelona
Pros: Loved the small ship experience and the intimacy of the trip. The crew and the staff were outstanding and helped you with anything you needed. Our cruise director, Luis Rivero (spelling???) was outstanding and went over and beyond the call of duty - fabulous person.
Cons: I was not aware we would be on buses so frequently. The trips at night were not scheduled so we could see the country side - that was a shame.

The Beautiful Douro
May 2017
Lisbon, Porto, Douro River
Pros: Beautiful ship, delicious food, all the good wine you can drink, excellent service, interesting tours
Cons: Did not like the bed configuration for two women traveling together (a woman designer would have come up with something better) and the other ships I have been on had a separate computer in the room, whereas, this ship had it integrated it into the TV.
Port wine cruise with extensions in Lisbon and Salamanca/Madrid
October 2017
Lisbon, Porto to Spanish border on Duoro River, Salamanca and Madrid
Pros: Beautiful scenery and weather was great in October. Cruise including going through five locks, including two of the biggest in terms of the change in water level (both over 100 feet). Local guides and AMA guide for the entire trip were exceptional.
Cons: Really none. The Madrid flamingo show was too expensive, so did not go
Port Wine and Flamenco cruise
April 2015
Madrid, Porto, Lisbon, etc.
Pros: The Cruise Manager and the crew were all superb. Most of the excursions were excellent.
Cons: Food was sub-par, especially for the price paid for the cruise. The day in Lamego was a waste of time.
