Description

A Douro River Cruise on the ‘Royal Barge’ with a few days in an historic Portuguese pousada One of the many highlights of 2012 and the Jubilee celebrations was the magnificent Thames Pageant, led by Her Majesty The Queen aboard the luxurious ‘Royal Barge’ - the Spirit of Chartwell. Now making new history, the ship sails in the waters of the beautiful Douro River in northern Portugal. Exclusively chartered by Titan, you are invited to experience a taste of what it might have been like for the Royal Party, choosing a 3 or 4-night cruise along the verdant Douro valley. To enhance the experience further, each cruise is coupled with a 3 or 4-night stay at a stunning pousada, located close to the ‘green terraced paradise’ of Peneda Gerês National Park. This unique experience promises a very special and relaxing holiday.

What our travellers are saying

Amazing Scenery and Wildlife

We saw loads of animals, bison, black and grizzly bear, elk, deer and even wolves in the distance. Waterfalls and lakes were magnificent and the trails that we walked were all so beautiful and well worth visiting.

Humbled by our surroundings

Every turn held more beauty than we expected. We were humbled by the size of the surrounding peaks. The feeling of being in a cathedral never left us as we stopped in deserted spots and just gazed at our surroundings.

A bite out of the Big Apple

Amazing New York highlights were a Broadway show, Central Park, Empire State building and Time Square. We visited MoMA which was amazing to see all best artwork in the world, we were just not expecting it, every room we went into there was another masterpiece. Our hotel was under a mile from the subway station and we saw how the New Yorkers live and commute.

Unforgettable Vegas

We saw all of Las Vegas and really glad we've done it. All the hotels were amazing. I will always remember driving towards Las Vegas, you're just driving for hours through dessert and it suddenly pops up out of nowhere.

So many highlights

Utah was my favourite part. There was so much to do and it was like nothing I’ve seen before. Really liked Capitol Reef as it was much quieter and we were so close to it. Will always remember going star gazing, brilliant.
