MS Estrela - 2026/2027 Itineraries

The MS Estrela crafts an exceptional journey through northern Portugal, operating as a custom-built premium river ship tailored specifically for the deep gorges and tight locks of the Douro River. Catering to 120 passengers, the ship showcases an extensive outdoor sun deck complete with a heated splash pool, a golf putting green, and a relaxing wellness spa. The shipboard environment focuses on stylishly appointed staterooms featuring automated, push-button glass walls that slide downward to instantly create an open-air French balcony. Dining experiences centre around rich local culinary traditions, offering multi-course regional menus paired with complimentary local ports and crisp Douro Valley table wines inside the main restaurant or out on the al fresco dining terrace. Daily schedules provide varied immersive shore excursions, giving travellers the chance to discover the blue-and-white tiled murals of Pinhão, tour historic private wine estates, and enjoy guided day trips across the Spanish border to Salamanca.
