Sailing down the Duoro
The boat was very well designed.cabin very comfortable . crew very helpful and friendly food excellent
Only one complaint - the itinerary gave a meet outside the cathedral at 12.45 to take us to the coach for lunch but food excellent
only one complaint the itinerary gave a meet outside the cathedral at 12:45 in Salamanca to take us to the couch for lunch but no one met us ( two 80 + in the heat ). We heard that the organised tour finished early but we had self guided ( after telling 3 guides that was our intent ) + were there before time + could not understand why there were no other fellow travellers ! When eventually we rejoined them our reception was chilly !

Thank you for sharing your experience. It’s wonderful to hear how much you enjoyed the boat, cabin comfort, crew support, and culinary experiences onboard. Your comments about the confusion at the Salamanca cathedral meeting point and the gap in support for self-guided travellers are important and will be passed on to improve clarity and ensure all guests feel looked after.

Fantastic and interesting cruise on a great ship
From the point of deciding to go on this cruise the process was simple and efficiently conducted. There was difficulty in finding the agent upon leaving the arrivals hall as she wasn't showing her board and was standing on the wrong side of the exit. The transfer itself was a bit long and tortuous presumably because the pontoon used by Travelmarvel is about as far away as it could be. The walk from the coach to the boat was long and across a floating pontoon so a bit dodgy and definitely hard for some of those with mobility issues. However once aboard everything was great. The welcome was superb and we were quickly shown to our cabin. The port talks and information meetings were excellent and informative. The food, waiting staff, drinks waiters, and cabin crew, trips, scenery, coach trips, guides and activities were top notch and very much impressed us. The transfer back to the airport was fine as it was an early transfer, but again marred by the long walk from the ship to the coach which was also late in arriving by about 20 minutes. This was our second TravelMarvel cruise and we look forward to our 3rd! I have mentioned the few niggles to help perhaps some `fine tuning' but we did have a great time with super company and thoroughly enjoyed it!

Levels of distinction becoming obvious
Generally a very good experience with helpful and attentive staff from the nautical, house keeping & restaurant staff.
However the nuances between the luxury side and this premium cruise are becoming very self evident instead of general sublties.

Thank you for your review. We’re delighted you enjoyed the service from our crew and had a very good overall experience. We understand your observations regarding the differences between our Luxury and Premium experiences.

Your feedback is appreciated as we continue to refine both offerings to ensure every guest enjoys a memorable journey.

Having to climb over other ships to get on or off wasn't good at all ,especially as I have knee problems, also the portions of food at the evening g meal were not enough to eat,and the tours could have been better x

Thank you for sharing your feedback. On Europe’s rivers, it is common for ships to dock side by side due to limited mooring space, meaning guests may need to cross through neighbouring vessels to embark or disembark. We understand this can be more difficult for those with mobility concerns, and our crew are always on hand to assist where possible. Your comments regarding meal portions and the tours have also been noted and passed on to our team for review. We’re always looking at ways to enhance comfort, dining, and excursion experiences, and your input helps us do that.

Our ship
Our ship, the MS Estrella is very tastefully furnished from staterooms, through to restaurant and entertainment area. The Chef’s menu recommendations and the Douro wines made evening dinners a treat. Service onboard was excellent, and together with a very professional and knowledgeable events manager, we could see how well the whole team gelled. Over all the trips were good, well organised the mix of afternoon and morning trip times, allowed time to rest and recharge.

We’re so pleased to hear you enjoyed your time aboard the MS Estrella. It's fantastic to know you appreciated the tasteful furnishings throughout the ship — from the staterooms to the restaurant and entertainment areas.
Evening dinners being a treat thanks to the Chef’s recommendations and Douro wines is exactly the kind of experience we aim to create. We’re also thrilled to hear that the service stood out and that the team — especially your events manager — made such a strong impression with their professionalism and knowledge.
It’s great to know the trip schedule struck the right balance, giving you both engaging excursions and time to relax. We truly appreciate you sharing your experience and hope to welcome you on another journey very soon!

Needs more planning
Ship and crew were excellent. Tours were rushed, visit to Salamanca was pointless on a Sunday for the free time we had. Guimarães visit should have been longer, after guided tour not long enough left to explore the city. Would not do the Douro river again.👎☹️

Travel went smoothly
Everything went smoothly, the boat was nice, staff helpful and food good BUT it really was not entirely suitable for a disabled person taking a mobility scooter (me) and the tour manager failed to advise me of uneven paving on one stop despite seeing me being off-loaded from the boat. That did spoil the particular day and resulted in us staying on the boat and missing other stops. In summary we would not go there again.

Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re pleased you enjoyed the ship, food and the service from our team, though we’re concerned to hear about the challenges you faced ashore. The Douro region is known for its historic towns and villages, many with uneven paving and limited accessibility, and we recognise this can create difficulties for guests with mobility aids. We regret that you were not better advised on this occasion, and your feedback will be shared with our team to ensure clearer guidance is given in the future. Your comments are valuable in helping us improve the support we provide to all guests.

The food was excellent, always fresh and full of flavours
Our hats off to the Chef and his team. He was very helpful with our dietary needs. Every staff member was very polite, very professional and very patient with the Geriatric passengers. Thank you each one for making our vacation great
The rooms could have been a little bigger.
Our boarding experience was not a pleasant one. We had to drag our suitcases a long distance to get on the boat. This definitely needs improvement
