Flavors of Portugal & Spain

Seven nights run from Porto to Vega de Terrón, crossing the Portuguese-Spanish border as the Douro becomes the Spanish Duero. Vineyard-covered hillsides, medieval castles and the cultural riches of both nations line the way, port by port, culminating in Salamanca, one of Spain's most magnificent UNESCO-listed cities.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why travelers choose AmaWaterways

City Escape: The Rhine

“You have more time to spend with family and you don’t have the kids off at a big water park on deck. With ocean cruising, people are prone to be doing separate things versus having more quality time with less distraction. River cruising has my heart now.”

JS
Jennifer S.
City Escape: The Rhine

“Ama goes above and beyond to make the holiday season special aboard, and its wonderful to be able to celebrate, be taken care of, and feel like I’ve done something special for myself all at the same time. I can’t recommend it enough!”

AB
Aimee Bentson
Best of Holland & Belgium

“We found this type of cruise so much more enjoyable than any of the large ocean cruises we have been on. You have the chance to get to know your fellow cruisers and make new friends. This was our first river cruise but will not be the last on Ama Waterways.”
