Description	7 Night Cruise sailing from Porto roundtrip aboard Emerald Radiance. Day 1 Arrival Porto Make your way to your contemporary Emerald Waterways Star-Ship. Day 2 Porto â€“ Pinhao Relax on board today and enjoy a full day of sailing through the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Douro Valley. This fascinating area was inscribed because it hones in on two millennia of wine producing history, where viticulture has shaped the surrounding landscape and small, sleepy villages are peppered with dozens of sun-drenched vineyards. Tonight, enjoy a welcome dinner and cocktail reception. Day 3 Pinhao - Vega de Terron Begin your day with a visit to the beautiful Quinta do Tedo vineyard in the heart of Portugalâ€™s Douro Valley, nestled on the confluence of the Douro and Tedo rivers. This 18th-century estate is environmentally sound, creating organic produce by using traditional viticulture methods. Alternatively, enjoy a guided walk through local vineyards, stopping along the way to admire your surroundings. This afternoon, enjoy sailing to Vega de TerrÃ³n, perhaps relaxing on the Sun Deck. Day 4 Salamanca Founded in Roman times, the ancient city of Salamanca and its UNESCO World Heritage-listed old quarter have an illustrious past, having been held by the Carthaginians, Romans and Moors. Travel to the beautiful golden city for a walking tour, starting among the postcard-worthy galleries and arcades that adorn Plaza Mayor. You will have the opportunity to see Casa de las Conchas, a building that has been lovingly decorated with more than 300 shells. Day 5 Pocinho This morning, arrive in Pocinho where youâ€™ll have the opportunity to embark on a canoeing excursion or to visit the CÃ´a Valley Museum. Later, return to your ship for lunch and soak up your idyllic surrounds as you sail towards RÃ©gua while taking part into a Port Wine cocktail lesson on board. A rural dinner at a wine estate is certain to be a highlight of your trip. Day 6 Regua Today, on an included excursion, you will visit the marvellous Baroque village of Lamego, stopping to see the picturesque Shrine of Our Lady of Remedies, a structure that stands gracefully over the town Day 7 Porto Located at the mouth of the Douro River, Porto is a fascinating eclectic mix of modern and ancient architecture. Famous for its exports of Port wines, itâ€™s easy to imagine how British merchant ships would have once clustered together in the medieval harbour, waiting to take Port wines across the water. Your included tour of the coastal city will touch on the fortified structures of Castelo da Foz and Castelo do Queijo, a building whose pentagonal faÃ§ades overlook the ocean. This evening, enjoy a charming evening cruise shining a different light on Porto's skyline. Day 8 Porto Disembarkation After breakfast disembark your river cruise ship.
