Your LGBT+, all-inclusive, guaranteed full ship charter adventure begins in Lisbon, the stunning capital city of Portugal and one of the most charismatic and vibrant cities in Europe. You’ll spend two days exploring the historic sites of this scenic and romantic city built on the sea.
Your cruise journeys from the picturesque Roman city of Porto, the home of Port wine. Portugal’s once-wild river Douro has been tamed by locks into a series of finger lakes, adding greatly to the valley’s ambience. Leaving behind the Atlantic influenced greenery of the coast, and you are soon immersed in a Mediterranean land of olives, vines, and picturesque, medieval hilltop villages. Our destination is the higher reaches of the valley from where we visit Salamanca – home of one of Europe’s oldest universities, two of its finest cathedrals, and Spain’s finest city square.
On board the gorgeous AmaSintra, you will be pampered by an attentive crew ensuring first-class personal service. Plus a friendly ‘small ship’ feel enables the ever-attentive crew to take care of all those little things – leaving you to simply sit back, relax and enjoy every minute of your sensational all-LGBT+ river cruise experience.
This cruise vacation has it all – historic sites, charming villages, world-class port wines and cuisine and more!

ENTERTAINMENT
On a Brand g Vacations European river cruise, every night is opening night. Our cruises always feature Brand g Entertainers to provide quality entertainment throughout the cruise, as well as wonderful hosts to keep you entertained at all times. Your cruise specific Brand g Entertainers will appear in this space closer to sailing.
ACTIVITIES & PARTIES
Although the focus of our cruises is mainly on sightseeing and socializing, we do like to mix in a bit of frivolity as well. With that in mind, we’re planning a couple of themed parties during the cruise which may include a welcome party, a T-Dance, or a quiz show. If you should choose to participate, great; if you’d rather just be a voyeur, that is totally fine as well.
We will update you on the Booked Guest page with any themes prior to your trip.
