Picturesque vineyards and charming native farms paint the sides of the Douro River Valley, creating the perfect backdrop for sailing and sipping wine. Dive deep into the food and culture of river life, while enriching your faith in pilgrimage locations throughout your journey. We’ll begin by visiting the birthplace of St. Anthony of Padua and a thirteenth-century Eucharistic Miracle, before continuing on to the site of Our Lady of Fatima’s apparitions. After contemplating the mysteries and message of the Blessed Virgin, we’ll begin our round-trip cruise from Porto. Visit the world’s oldest demarcated wine region and roam lovely villages, gardens, and historic buildings. Sail along a seemingly untouched landscape. Our trip ends with the Church of St. Teresa of Avila and Cathedral of the Saviour. With daily Mass and meals in local quintas, this cruise is a faith-filled pilgrimage and a fun vacation all in one.
