Enticing Douro - Taste of Christmas
Portugal's Douro Valley turns festive on this 7-night roundtrip from Porto. The terraced wine country takes on a warm holiday glow, and Porto's charming Christmas markets and seasonal Port wine traditions add a distinctly Portuguese character to the celebrations.
Why travelers choose AmaWaterways
“This was our third trip on Ama and it did not disappoint. Your shore excursions were truly amazing, and I found it very difficult to pick one that I liked best. AmaWaterways combined so much culture, history, entertainment and fun in each one. Our vacation is one to remember.”
“It was also really nice that the tours had built-in free time so that we could do some things just for our kids. Europe is so family-friendly; we always felt the kids were welcome – especially at the Christmas Markets, which are designed for families.”
