Just in time for the Governments announcement that Portugal will indeed be a green list country, the Scenic Group has confirmed that its river cruise programme on Portugal?s Douro River will resume from July 30, 2021.
Both cruise lines will resume their original Douro schedules, offering eight-day round-trips from Porto exploring the vineyards and towns along Portugal?s Douro River.
Both cruise lines are providing British holidaymakers with full flexibility by offering deposit-free bookings until the government?s proposed traffic-light system is confirmed. This allows Brits to secure their place on the highly-sought after 2021 season while still having full peace of mind that their cash is protected.
Alongside the nil-deposit offer, Scenic and Emerald Cruises have applied additional discounts across its entire portfolio of 2021 Douro sailings. Guests looking to explore with Emerald Cruises can save up to ?700 per person and enjoy unlimited free drinks on board with a Premium Drinks Package. While guests choosing to cruise in all-inclusive luxury with Scenic Luxury Cruises & Tours will save up to ?700 per person.
