Description
Some experiences aren’t about luxury — they’re about soul.
At AlmaDouro, we believe true luxury lies in care, attention, and authenticity.
Step aboard Cabernet, a classic 1963 Dutch boat lovingly restored by your hosts, Nadia and Paulo.
It’s cozy, fresh, and beautifully simple — the perfect space to feel at home while discovering the magic of the Douro.
We depart from Douro Marina, near the fishing village of Afurada, and cruise beneath the 6 bridges that unite Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia.
Along the way, the river reveals its different moods: calm and golden in the morning, lively and colorful during the day, and absolutely magical at sunset.
You’ll be welcomed with a local drink and tasting board, made with fresh regional products.
We share stories, laughter, and space for quiet moments too — letting you feel the city, not just see it.
As the sun begins to set, the Douro turns to gold.
It’s the perfect time for a Port wine toast, a Polaroid memory, or simply a moment to breathe, wrapped in a warm blanket as the city lights glow.
Morning cruises bring peace and soft light.
Daytime cruises capture the rhythm of the city.
Sunset cruises are pure magic.
Whichever you choose, the experience is always private and just for you.
Back at the marina, we say goodbye as we started — with a smile, and the wish that a little piece of the Douro stays with you.
Authentic. Warm. Made with soul.
That’s our Douro. That’s AlmaDouro.
