There aren't many places worth seeing along the route. Only the town near the Douro is worth a visit. As for the cruise, it's over before you know it. It's just a run-of-the-mill experience.

The Douro river 6 bridges boat trip was the highlight of the trip and the hop on hop off bus tour (red route) was also worthwhile.
