A cruise onboard Queen Isabel is an unforgettable way to see the stunning Douro river. Named after Portugal’s beloved queen, this sleek and stylish vessel is home to just 116 passengers and offers space and luxury in abundance. Designed to traverse the Douro’s sometimes narrow and winding waterways, this modern and sophisticated cruise ship offers spacious cabins, ample social areas and an open-air pool, where you can take a dip while watching the sights drift by.
Spacious Suites and Staterooms
With 20 suites and 39 staterooms, Queen Isabel offers stylish décor and indulgent facilities that are more befitting of a luxury hotel than a river ship. Guests can expect plenty of storage space, well-equipped en-suite bathrooms and deluxe Savior of England beds with 100% Egyptian cotton linen and a pillow menu. The suites and larger staterooms offer floor-to-ceiling windows so that guests can watch the world sail by from the comfort of their cabins.
Sophisticated Communal Spaces
If you can bear to tear yourself away from your luxurious cabin, there’s plenty more to see and do on deck. The sun deck has an open-air swimming pool so you can take a dip in the early Portuguese sunshine before enjoying a coffee or juice from the well-stocked bar. Alternatively, visit the lower deck to make use of the fitness centre and Serenity River Spa where indulgence is the order of the day, every day. The main restaurant is the perfect place to get to know your fellow passengers over dinner and the 24-hour tea and coffee lounge is sure to please.
Portuguese Exploration
Sample the finest ports in Porto, marvel at the breathtaking architecture and history of Salamanca and visit the stunning wineries of Quinta da Pacheca, all in the knowledge that your floating 5-star hotel awaits at the end of each day. Whether you want to explore the gems of the Iberian Peninsula or simply travel along its waterways in style, a cruise onboard the Queen Isabel is sure to please. You’ll only wonder why you didn’t book a longer trip!
