Villages and Vintages: Cruising the Douro River Valley
Exploring the Douro, plus Lisbon & Madrid
Douro Discovery: A Family River Cruise in Portugal
My wife and I are arriving in Lisbon a few days prior to the start of our tour. If anyone else has done this, how are the transfers from the airport to the hotel work? Does someone from Tauck contact you with a confirmation and details? Thanks.
We’re going on the Douro cruise soon. How can we use the daily credit we receive for the Cat 5 room. Upgrades of alcohol? A massage at one of the hotels? Not sure where there is to spend it. Thanks.
We are traveling soon and want to know if I need to bring adapters or converters for phones, laptop etc?? If someone has been on the MS Ardorinha.
Several comments have referred to the spotty WiFi on the Andorinha. No one to blame here as the ship will need to rely on cell type connection (not traditional WiFi). However whatever capacity it can get will be shared amongst all guests. So look at your own domestic data plan and see what it charges for international…
Was looking up some info on the Andorinha on Scylla's website. If you go to the "Our Ships" tab there is a link to details on all their ships including many that Tauck doesn't use. Most seem to have a 360 degree video that lets you look at the inside of different parts of the ship. That includes public spaces and most if…
Just finished the Lisbon to Madrid cruise 9/11/2023. One of the best cruises we have ever taken. Many little “Tauck Treats & Surprises”. Here are a couple of misc. notes about the Andorinha: The cabin walls are NOT metal (i.e. steel),so magnetic hooks have nearly no place to hang up items. I found only one location and it…
Family of 10 from Hawaii. First time Douro river cruise. Adventurous eaters. Enjoy eating local, seasonal, sometimes-"bizarre" foods. Been to Korea, Japan, Sumatra, Singapore, Beijing, Shanghai, VN, PI, Jakarta, Mexico, Canada, GB, Italy, Paris, countries along the Danube, and most of the States in the U.S. Repulsed by…
Should you be using a CPAP medical device at the Lisbon Intercontinental, understand this. The room electrical system, lights and electrical outlets, will turn OFF during the night. This occurs whenever there is NO movement for any time more than 20 minutes. Yes, the room card is in the slot by the door but power will end…
Has anyone sailed in a Cat 5 ADA cabin on the MS Andorinha? We are assigned cabin 311, which is presented as ADA. We do not need the ADA features, but it is the only Cat 5 available for our sailing. I wonder if the shower configuration is the same as other Cat 5 cabins on this ship or if it is configured in a different way…
What’s the average age range on the Vintages/Villages cruise? And could anyone comment on the pace?
