Snapshot

Alegria is Avalon's first river vessel in Portugal. The "Suite Ship" has been purpose-built to sail on the River of Gold. The ship will be a smaller version of the line's mainstream European ships and feature all the same amenities and excursion options.

Where Avalon Alegria sails

Avalon Alegria features one itinerary, the 10-night "Portugal Vineyards and Villages Along the Douro With 3 Nights In Lisbon and Land Tour." The cruise from Lisbon to Porto includes stops at several river towns along the Douro, including Pinhao and Salamanca.
