Description

Built in 2021, this brand-new ship will take travelers to explore the Douro River Valley, welcoming its guests in suites larger than average, with butler service, tailor-made excursions, and a crew of 36 people well disposed to offer a service always attentive and carefully crafted in every detail. The furnishings are inspired by the artistic tradition of Portugal, with unique handmade elements and décor in warm tones of wood with hints of blue, white, and azure.
On board the S.S. Sao Gabriel, guests can book a relaxing massage at the spa, buy souvenirs in the onboard shop, plan a tailor-made excursion with the Cruise Director, sip a good wine in the wine cellar, or admire the enchanting Douro Valley and its vineyards at sunset. The cabins are intimate and welcoming, with quality linens and courtesy sets. In the evening, guests can enjoy live music or performances by various local artists at the Lounge Bar.

Comment

Aboard the SS São Gabriel, I had the opportunity to experience a cruise along the Douro River, surrounded by the wine hills and historic villages of Portugal. The ship, elegant and well-designed, offered spacious cabins with all modern amenities, allowing me to enjoy the scenery in complete relaxation. The service on board was attentive and professional, with a team that was always available. The excursions, including wine tastings at local wineries and visits to villages along the river, were well organized and interesting. The onboard cuisine featured dishes that reflected Portuguese gastronomy, allowing me to savor the country's typical flavors. The cruise on the SS São Gabriel was a pleasant combination of comfort, culture, and picturesque landscapes, ideal for those seeking a peaceful and enjoyable vacation.
