Scenic is operating a series of eight and 11-day round trips from Porto onboard its Scenic Azure Space-Ship over the next few months.

To mark its return, Scenic has released a series of short films to demonstrate the guest experience including health and safety protocols and what passengers can expect during their holiday.


The eight-day Delightful Douro calls at Regua, Vega de Terron, Pocinho and Pinhao, while the 11-day Unforgettable Douro itinerary features a gourmet focus and includes wine-tasting at Quinta da Aveleda.
