We are delighted to be launching the MS Estrela, a brand-new purpose designed Douro River ship setting sail in 2024.

Experience life on board your brand-new river ship, the MS Estrela. Custom-built to cruise along the majestic Douro River, the MS Estrela has been designed to reflect the beauty of the region, with ample natural light and a distinctly Southern European ambience.

Tipping is included for all APT operated tours.

There are a few activities whereby tipping is not included such as Tailor Made Holidays, Africa & South America's City Stays & Extensions, and the Northern Lights Adventure in North America.

Your Sales consultant can provide you with detailed advice during your booking enquiry specific to the destination you are visiting.

Each stateroom and suite features an ensuite bathroom, personal climate control, flatscreen TVs and complimentary wi-fi. Balcony Suites contain electric slide-down windows that open to a French-style balcony.

The main restaurant showcases Portuguese and international flavours, or you can opt for a lighter meal in the ship's lounge, or dine alfresco.

Your river cruise with APT will be a luxurious experience from start to finish. Customise how you explore Europe with a variety of included shore excursions and flexible tour options.

With a fleet of bicycles on board, guests have the opportunity to explore Europe on our guided bike tours, or go discover on their own.

Outdoor social spaces include a Sun Deck featuring a large swimming pool and an outdoor bar, plush lounge seats, sun beds and a putting green.

Onboard entertainment includes Portuguese folk music and an informative history lesson.

Please note that there are no children's facilities onboard MS Estrela.
