Enrichment
Whether you want to book your shore experiences through us or explore our ports of call at your own pace, a TUI River Cruises sailing has the best of both worlds.
Sightsee At Leisure
If exploring at your own pace sounds more your cup of tea, our tickets and attractions experiences are perfect. You can set off on your own and join in with things like food tasting tours, or see the destination on hop-on-and-off buses. If you’d rather just bag yourself a spot in a local café and watch the world go by, that’s great, too – our cruises allow for as much sightseeing as you like.
If you want to find out everything you need to know about the ports we visit, don’t miss our Cruise Experience Manager’s daily port talks. They’ll also tell you about some of the shore experiences available. Also, use the onboard app, Navigate. It’s got port maps on it – perfect for if you want to go off and explore alone.
Dining
Dining-wise, you’ve got three places to pick from. Sorriso's open for all three meals, while dinner’s also available at the al fresco spot, Vinha. This place focuses on local dishes and takes its cues from the Douro Valley’s colourful landscape when it comes to design. Cinder, meanwhile, is on the top deck, and is open for self-serve lunches every day from the grill, plus barbecue lunches from time to time, as well. The ship’s Full Board Plus, which means three meals a day and drinks at mealtimes are included in your price.
