Tauck, the family-owned travel company offering over 140 different all-inclusive guided journeys worldwide, will be introducing a new river ship that will navigate the Douro River in Portugal and Spain. This is its first river cruise offered on the Douro River.
The new ship, which will have a crew of 36, will measure 263 feet in length with a beam of 38 feet. Guests will be accommodated in 42 cabins, including 12 300-square-foot suites on the upper Diamond Deck and 20 225-square-foot staterooms primarily on the vessel’s Ruby or mid-level deck. The remaining accommodations—six 200-square-foot cabins and four 150-square-foot cabins—will be on the lower or Emerald Deck. The Andorinha also will feature a Panorama Lounge, Compass Rose restaurant for fine dining, and a second dining venue Arthur’s (named for Tauck chairman Arthur Tauck Jr.) serving more casual fare.
Tauck will offer three new Douro River itineraries aboard the Andorinha; a 12-day journey that bookends a seven-night Douro cruise with two-night hotel stays in Lisbon and Madrid; an eight-day “cruise-only” itinerary along the river; and an eight-day Tauck Bridges cruise designed specifically for families with four with departures slated for late June through early July 2020. Itinerary details and pricing will be announced later this year.
Well known for it’s itineraries off the beaten path, attentive and well-informed tour directors and all inclusive service, Tauck is the perfect way to travel.
