MS Andorinha has been custom-designed for the Douro, with a deck plan optimised for space and comfort. The ship boasts 12 Tauck Suites at a generous 300 square feet, alongside 20 cabins of 225 square feet, six at 200 square feet and four at 150 square feet. Every stateroom offers river views, with Categories 3, 4 and 5 featuring floor-to-ceiling windows and true French balconies.
Dining is a highlight, with open seating in the elegant Compass Rose restaurant, where menus showcase Portuguese flavours paired with sommelier-selected wines. Flexible dining times and vegetarian options ensure every preference is catered for, while Arthur’s offers a more casual alternative with classic favourites and lighter breakfasts. Weather permitting, al fresco dining on the sun deck is a real treat, complemented by complimentary snacks served throughout the day and unlimited beverages – from regional wines and premium spirits to specialty coffees and soft drinks. After dinner, relax in the Panorama Lounge with a cocktail or take in the views from the sun deck, where the pool is a standout feature. It’s the perfect spot to soak up the scenery as terraced vineyards and historic villages glide by. Whatever you choose, expect exceptional service and a relaxed, convivial atmosphere.
