Luxury Travel Advisor - December 2007 - (Page 65) AQUAPURA Douro Valley, Portugal Set in Portugal’s charming wine region, the Aquapura Douro Valley (www.aquapurahotels.com) is the ideal place to send your oenophile clients who are looking for a new world to discover. The fledgling hotel is set in a 19th-century manor house, which is quaint when it counts and contemporary when it matters. Aside from the 50 hotel rooms, which go all the way up to the Presidential Suite, there are 21 luxury villas that range in size from one to three bedrooms. The spa also is a main attraction here, with a thermal suite and an indoor swimming pool. Classifed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Portugal’s Douro region is known for its Port wine. Contact Tania Garcia (tgarcia@aquapurodouro.com) if you are sending a client. Sofia Brandao (sofiabrandao@aqua purahotels.com) is another good contact. She oversees corporate marketing for Aquapura Hotels, which is opening a resort in Balbino, Brazil in 2010. What Superior Expedition Cruising Looks Like Up Close Take a look at all that our expedition cruises have to offer.

Exploring an impressive array of warm destinations, both ships have the benefit of a smaller size, allowing them to visit little-known locales seldom visited by other ships. Zodiacs on each ship take your clients on individual landings, allowing them to experience the wonders of the earth a mere arm’s length away.
