Carrying just 119 guests across 88 cabins, she is small enough that you will recognise most faces by day two, with attentive service that never feels formal. The heart of the ship is the restaurant and bar, where relaxed meals and easy conversation flow naturally into one another, while the inviting Sun Deck offers space to relax with a drink and a book, or cool off in the splash pool as the Douro Valley drifts by.
