The Alumni Traveler

Featured Journey

Portugal's River of Gold
Portugal This relaxing cruise through the Douro Valley along Portugal's "River of Gold" brings you face-to-face with some of the Iberian Peninsula's loveliest landscapes, towns and villages.

Embark the 80-passenger Douro Princess in the ancient town of Porto, Portugal's center of port wine production, and enjoy a leisurely seven-night cruise of the scenic Douro. Glide past steeply terraced vineyards, hillsides dotted with white manor houses, small villages, ancient river towns, royal hideaways, and venerable seats of learning as we make our way along the river.

Enjoy three days on an optional pre-cruise extension to Lisbon, Portugal's lively yet laid-back capital city. An optional post-cruise extension takes you to the mountainous, subtropical island of Madeira, with its high rocky peaks, bright flowers, and scenic waterfalls.
