“Our only itinerary on the Douro River has grown to become one of our most popular cruises, so we’re launching a new ship and a new itinerary to keep up with demand there,” said Marilyn Conroy, executive vice president sales and marketing North America for Riviera River Cruises. “The stylish new MS Porto Mirante will carry guests through the scenic winelands along the river, with excursions led by local experts who provide insights into the destinations we visit. And, as on all our 2024 river cruises, guests will enjoy our new Superior drinks package free of charge.”
