When Portuguese navigator Vasco de Gama set sail aboard the São Gabriel in 1497, his fleet was joined by the São Rafael, a matching ship captained by his brother, Paulo de Gama. Likewise, in 2027, our new S.S. São Rafael will join the S.S. São Gabriel on the Douro River to introduce even more guests to the rich flavors and wonderous landscapes of Portugal’s famed winegrowing region.

Aboard the S.S. São Rafael, guests are given exceptional access to this remarkable region. Scenic cruising brings the Douro’s evolving beauty into full view, while carefully chosen ports allow for meaningful exploration ashore – from historic quintas and wine estates to villages where daily life remains closely tied to the bounty of the valley. The experience feels transporting, carrying guests not only through place, but through time..
