Hankering after last year’s magnificent displays of patriotism? You can now take to the water on the Royal Barge that was seen around the world hosting Her Majesty the Queen and the Royal Family during the Thames Pageant.
Now, it is making new waves, sailing on the beautiful Douro River in northern Portugal, with a number of departures exclusively chartered by river cruise company Titan.
The Douro River Cruise on the Royal Barge package offers either a three or four-night cruise on the Douro River, combined with a three or four-night stay in the royally-connected Pousada de Amares, a restored 12 century monastery that is home to statues of Portuguese royals.
The Spirit of Chartwell is a unique vessel, with a distinctive chocolate and cream livery. Its interior was inspired by the Rene Lalique 1929 Pullman car ‘Côte d’Azur’, with glass panels, classical figures and restored Pullman Express armchairs in the lounge and restaurant.
She has 20 staterooms, each with en-suite facilities and rich cream mahogany finishes.
Three nights’ full board on the ship and four nights in the pousada (half board) is from £1,595 per person, including flights from the UK for departures in June, September and October.
