Recognized as one of the Douro's most acclaimed cruises, the Porto-Régua-Porto Descent boat trip shows off the pleasures of the Douro's heritage. Surrounded by mountain slopes, Régua Quay has earned its popularity by being the first stop for boats departing from Porto.
Considered the "engine of the Douro", Régua (with the official name of Peso da Régua) played a fundamental role in the development of the Douro region.
It was from the town's quay that the Rabelo boats that transported the Port wine barrels sailed to Vila Nova de Gaia.
Come aboard with us and get ready to cruise down the Douro River from Régua to the city of Porto on one of the boats that sail these waters every day.
On this cruise you can enjoy the sight of terraces on the hillsides next to the Douro River.
Take the opportunity to relax and enjoy the panoramic views of the Douro while the river waves accompany you!
