SHIP INFO - ms Saudade for Tauck

Purposefully-built for cruising to historic quintas and picturesque villages along Portugal&#39;s golden Douro River, this newly constructed custom riverboat will cruise from coastal Porto to the Spanish border with Tauck in 2027 and offers spacious accommodations for just 84 guests.<br>The ship is outfitted with 12 300-sq.-ft. Tauck Suites and more 225-sq.-ft. cabins, to maximize the onboard experience in every way and features beautiful Portuguese craftsmanship from local companies, which can be found in some of the furniture and lighting fixtures. The ship&#39;s color scheme as well as patterns used in the artwork, carpets and fencing are inspired by the typical decorative tiles which can be found throughout Portugal and the various lighting fixtures on board are custom made and resemble vines in the many vineyards along the Douro river. Add a small swimming pool atop the Sun Deck that refreshes the body and spirit as you drink in the background of the passing UNESCO World Heritage Site scenery, onboard dining venues, and built-in amenities custom-designed to delight, and you&#39;ll experience a riverboat truly inspired by the destination.
