Creator's Key Takeaways

It's very impressive to go into the lock cuz your ship is basically taking you into a black hole.

The most beautiful part about sailing on the River Douro is actually the sailing because there is incredible landscape.

Not only the quality was very nice, but there was also a very wide choice of dishes more than on a regular river cruise ship.

Creator's Tips & Advice

If you're claustrophobic, I would recommend going to your cabin and just close the curtains [when going through the lock].
Use the sailing time for relaxing on the sun deck rather than excursions, as many ports are just small villages.
