THE TRAVEL CORPORATION’S UNIWORLD BOUTIQUE
River Cruises brand has launched a new
ship which will sail the spectacular Douro
River Valley in Spain and Portugal this year.
The Douro Spirit carries a maximum of 128
guests, with Uniworld gm John Molinaro
saying the vessel “introduces a new level of
cruising to the Douro River.
“Ours is one of the finest vessels on the
water; a luxurious, boutique ship…ensuring
the small-ship
ambience that we
are renowned
for,” he said.
Staterooms and
suites all feature
French balconies,
and guests are
treated with
individual climate control, fine linens,
bottled water, robes, slippers and L’Occitane
bathroom products.
Uniworld offers an 11-day Portugal, Spain
& the Douro River Valley voyage which
cruises from Lisbon to Porto and is priced
from $3583ppts – including three nights at
a deluxe hotel in Lisbon with breakfast; a
seven night Douro Spirit cruise and ten fully
hosted shore excursions.
The recent inaugural, which took place at
the start of this month, featured a range of
dignitaries including Allan J. Katz, who’s the
US Ambassador to Portugal.
The spectacular Douro River Valley is a
listed UNESCO World Heritage region, and
Uniworld President Guy Young also noted
that National Geographic Traveler had
recently recognised the Douro as “one of
the World’s Great Places”.
