Douro Queen

Exclusively chartered for Saga guests, the Douro Queen allows you to relax by the pool on the sun deck, or in the stylish bar as you cruise the length of the River Douro.

The Douro Queen allows you to explore the River Douro in comfort. On the sun deck you'll find a pool and plenty of sun loungers, while on the lower decks you can make yourself at home in the panorama lounge and bar, and the restaurant. The restaurant serves international cuisine with meals served at one leisurely sitting. You can admire the views while enjoying four-course dinners, as well as delicious buffet-style breakfasts and lunches. During your cruise aboard the Douro Queen ship there will also be entertainment local to the region through which you are cruising, such as Portuguese folk music.

All 65 cabins aboard the Douro Queen are outside facing. Cabins on the upper deck have a balcony, while those on the main deck have large picture windows. All cabins are en suite and have twin or double beds, as well as a television, hairdryer and safe. Upper Deck Aft cabins (UA grade) on the Douro Queen have a partially obstructed view from the balcony.

Start the day in the way you mean to go on, with a delicious buffet-style breakfast or a more substantial full English aboard the Douro Queen ship. If you're not out exploring or on an excursion then an enticing buffet-style lunch will be yours to savour, while at dinner you'll have a four-course meal with a choice of main course.
