Discover Portugal on a journey that combines urban charm with an exceptional river cruise on the Douro. Begin your stay in the magnificent capital, Lisbon—a vibrant city with picturesque narrow streets, historic neighborhoods, and a lively atmosphere overlooking the Tagus River and the Atlantic Ocean.
Then continue your adventure aboard a cruise on the Douro River, one of Europe’s most beautiful rivers. This journey takes you to the heart of the famous Douro Valley, an iconic wine-growing region where the prestigious Port wines are produced. Amid terraced hills, authentic villages, and landscapes shaped by vineyards, each stop reveals a rural and enchanting Portugal.
During your itinerary, you’ll also discover the university city of Coimbra, renowned for its historical heritage and its prestigious university, one of the oldest in Europe.
This tour of Portugal harmoniously combines a cruise on the Douro, cultural discoveries, and a stay in Lisbon for a complete immersion in a warm, sunny country rich in traditions.

Wi-Fi accessSynergia network group departures
Advisors in the Voyages Synergia network build their own escorted group departures every year, with limited places. These are trips born of a passion rather than a catalogue: fishing in Guatemala, safari in East Africa, guided expeditions. The list above changes with the seasons.
What sets these departures apart
- A Quebec tour leader who knows the destination and travels with the group
- A restricted number of places, often a few dozen, sometimes fewer than ten
- A clear theme, built around one activity rather than a destination alone
- Fixed dates: you join the departure, you do not build it
