Travel Weekly contributor Celeste Moure cruised the Douro River with Viking Cruises before tourist travel shut down due to the Covid-19 pandemic. At this time, the CDC recommends travelers avoid nonessential travel to Portugal. Looking forward to the post-Covid era, her report follows:
When I booked a trip on Viking s new Helgrim ship to explore Portugal s River of Gold, the Douro, I knew I d have the chance to check out some amazing museums and galleries in Lisbon, visit centuries‐old castles and cathedrals in Regua and Salamanca and taste traditional cuisine and wine at vineyards, farms and, of course, on board.
