About Douro Queen

The Douro Queen allows you to explore the River Douro in comfort. On the sun deck you’ll find a pool and plenty of sun loungers, while on the lower decks you can make yourself at home in the panorama lounge and bar, and the restaurant. The restaurant serves international cuisine with meals served at one leisurely sitting. You can admire the views while enjoying four-course dinners, as well as delicious buffet-style breakfasts and lunches. During your cruise aboard the Douro Queen ship there will also be entertainment local to the region through which you are cruising, such as Portuguese folk music.

All cabins are en suite and have twin or double beds, as well as a television, hairdryer and safe.

Enrichment

The Saga cruise director will always be mingling with guests and making sure everything's running smoothly. They'll no doubt organise a few impromptu games and quizzes too, for those who wish to join in. After dinner the pace remains just as leisurely. If the ship is berthed, you might like to take a stroll along the river bank – it's very easy to come and go as you please. Or if you're staying on board there might be a pianist playing, perhaps music to dance to, and occasionally local performers are invited on board to put on a show.

Excursions

Propel yourself further into the destinations you visit with our selection of INCLUDED shore excursions. We offer a variety of included tours on all our European river cruises, whether you join is entirely up to you. As well as our standard included selections, we also offer a collection of premium shore excursions which can be booked onboard for an additional charge.

Our pledge is to offer you an intensive travel experience that is the best value for money, so whether it’s your first time travelling with nicko cruises, or you’ve cruised with us many times before, you will always be welcomed like you were family and can look forward to new and exciting experiences.
