MS Douro Elegance

MS Douro Elegance ship overview

Riviera Travel’s MS Douro Elegance, a luxurious river cruise ship, is designed specifically for exploring the magical major river in Portugal.

Imagine cruising down the enchanting Douro River in Portugal, a glass of vinho verde in hand, the ever-changing scenery gliding by from your private French balcony. With only 126 guests on board, you’ll experience a relaxed and personalised atmosphere, perfect for unwinding.

After a day of exploring charming villages and historic vineyards, take a dip in the sparkling pool or indulge in a soothing spa treatment.

In the evenings, gather in the elegant lounge for a pre-dinner tipple, followed by a culinary adventure in the open-seating restaurant. Feeling fancy? Treat yourselves to a specialty restaurant experience, a delightful change of pace for the discerning palate.

But the real star of the show? The Douro Valley itself! With expertly crafted itineraries, you’ll delve into the region’s rich history, savour delectable cuisine, and create memories that will last a lifetime.

Cabin types

outside

All the outside facing cabins on the MS Douro Elegance are finished to an exceptionally high standard with superior quality fittings in the most refined taste and at 14 square metres (151 square feet) these are amongst the largest on any European river cruise. Chic styling is evident throughout from the moment you open your beautifully polished hardwood door and step inside your luxury home for the next 7 nights; polished wooden furniture is complemented by fine fabrics, in warm, relaxing colours, uniquely designed and created for the Ms Douro Elegance whilst ‘hotel style’ twin beds with individual bedding which can be moved together or separated accordingly, will ensure a good night’s sleep in the finest crisp linens. The sparkling marble bathrooms, beautifully designed, all feature shower with fully glazed screen, WC plus fluffy towels and bathroom cosmetics. The living area has two comfortable chairs and a table plus a small desk. All cabins enjoy the benefit of individually controlled air-conditioning, flat screen high-definition satellite TV, hairdryer, safe, telephone, and tea and coffee making facilities. Best of all the Standard Cabins on the Upper Deck and Main (middle) Deck have full floor to ceiling windows which slide down halfway so you can watch the stunning river scenery drifting past without leaving the comfort of your cabin!
