- THE DOURO -
Called the River of Gold, the Douro has been intertwined, since Roman times, with
the production and transport of Portugal's most famous export-port wine. As it
crosses Portugal and into Spain, the river flows past steeply terraced hillside vineyards,
almond groves, ancient pilgrimage sites and mountaintop castles.
The city of Porto, on the Atlantic coast, is the embarkation point for many cruises,
including Uniworld's Douro River Valley, an 8-day roundtrip journey through Europe's
oldest demarcated wine region. The cruise line's " Do as the Locals Do " exccursions
provide an introduction to the Portuguese wine capital, such as exploring Porto's
medieval alleyways and riding a tram up to the Clérigos Tower for spectacular views.
Heading inland, cruise ships enter the Douro River Valley, with stops along the way
to visit quintas, family-owned wine estates where passengers meet the winemakers and
sample port and other wines, as well as cheeses, smoked meats, almonds, honey and
other regional specialties. One of the Douro's most fascinating sights is Castelo
Rodrigo, a ruined mountaintop citadel that played an important role in Portugal's
territorial disputes with Spain. Crossing into Spain, an excursion to Salamanca reveals a
golden city of sandstone structures, baroque churches and Spain's oldest university,
dating back to 1218.

- THE MEKONG -
What the Rhine and Danube are to Europe, the Mekong is to Southeast Asia,
flowing approximately 2,700 miles from the Qinghai province in China through
Cambodia and Vietnam to the South China Sea. Along the way are a panoply of sights
that touch the soul, including Buddhist monasteries, floating markets, museums that
shed light on the region's grim past and lush fields where water buffalo graze.
AmaWaterways' Riches of the Mekong, a 7-night sailing from Siem Reap, Cambodia,
to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, offers plenty of cultural traditions. You can walk
through Angkor Ban, a rare Cambodian village not destroyed under the Khmer Rouge
regime in the 1970s, where daily life among the wooden houses built on stilts carries on
as it has for centuries. The bustling city of Phnom Penh boasts French Colonial
architecture and tree-lined boulevards. Nearby, you can attend a blessing ceremony at a
Buddhist monastery in the pilgrimage site of Oudong. Crossing the border into
Vietnam, the small river town of Tan Chau is a serene place to ride a trishaw and
browse for handmade silks and rattan.
