4. Douro River Cruise, Portugal, and Spain
A river cruise proves to be a more intimate and picturesque alternative to giant ocean cruise liners. A great river cruise for seniors is from Viking River Cruises, called ‘Portugal’s River of Gold’. You get to see a different view through your window every single day and visit places that you’d never otherwise get to.
The river cruise begins in the beautiful city of Porto, where you’ll get to see elegant bridges, visit famous port-side wine houses and various historic centers. This cruise is unique as you’ll go days without seeing another boat while you travel through the narrow waterways of the Douro River. Along the way, you’ll glimpse beautiful vineyards and stop to explore grand castles, baroque mansions, and monasteries of old.
