Final Consumer Sign UpRiver and Ocean Cruises can be an idyllic way to explore a new destination. However, not everyone is prepared to venture into the Atlantic waters.
If you are new to cruising and want to test the waters, we recommend a short Ocean Cruise, so you don't need to worry about getting seasick. Alternatively, we can organize a River Cruise where one can relax on the sundeck while enjoying panoramic sights in the tranquility of the calm waters.
During a River and Ocean Cruise, one can learn more about the culture and history of a destination in the tranquility of a sundeck.
A River and Ocean Cruise is a trip during which one travels on a ship and visits or sightsees several sites.
The ship size is one of the main distinctions between river cruises and ocean counterparts. River vessels are much smaller than ocean cruisers as they have to navigate shallow rivers and locks, whereas ocean ships, as the name suggests, are large enough to sail effortlessly across vast stretches of water.
The average cost of a cruise varies by ship, location, trip length, and services included onboard. A River and Ocean Cruise can be an affordable and fun vacation complement. Better to ensure all variables associated with the cruise's total cost.
A Private River and Ocean Cruise with Portugal Deluxe cruise can cost anywhere from 280€ per person for a one-hour private cruise, in the Douro Valley, to up to 1450€ per person for an eight hours luxury vessel in Madeira.
Cruise fares vary based on itinerary, schedule, and the ship and services included, such as catering onboard or fire bottle opening.
Portugal Deluxe River and Ocean Cruises are private and can take from one up to six hours. Our cruises are complements of a full-package itinerary inland, meaning we do not book private cruise services isolated.
