WILL YOU OFFER A PRE-CRUISE PROGRAM?
Yes, we will offer a pre-cruise program including one extra night in our partner hotel in Porto.
You can find all details here.
Important: If you have booked both, our Anniversary Rhine Cruise AND the Douro cruise, this program as well as your flight from Basel to Porto, are already included for you.
IS THERE WIFI ONBOARD?
Yes, there will be WiFi onboard the ship, which is also already included in your cruise fare! Being close to shore, the connection is quite good at river cruises but internet on board can never be as reliable as on land. There will always be some level of unreliability, especially the further out to sea you sail.
Our connection relies on a cellular or satellite terminal—the best possible solution for river cruising. Due to the nature of data bandwidth and latency, as well as potential interruptions in satellite signals based on terrain and weather, you may experience slower online connections than you are accustomed to at home. That’s why we recommend to download your content such as movies, series or software updates before the cruise, so there is enough data for everyone to use the WiFi.
DO YOU OFFER SHORE EXCURSIONS?
Once we finished the planning of our shore excursions, all booked guests will receive an email with all details of our shore excursions.
Usually these details are available 6 - 8 weeks prior to cruise departure.
You will also be able to see the details here at the FAQs. It is highly recommended to book shore excursions prior to the cruise.
WHAT IS NOT INCLUDED?
- International Flights
- Airport transfers
- Any additional food or beverages obtained outside of the package specifications
- Purchases of drinks, souvenirs, gifts and other personal items on board or ashore
- Personal services such as spa, laundry and telecommunication charges
- Baggage, travel cancellation and personal insurance
WHAT ARE THE TYPICAL DEMOGRAPHICS OF OTHER PASSENGERS ONBOARD?
Travelers come from around the world, though all speak English fluently. They range in age from millenials to seniors. Couples, solo travelers, and honeymooners are all common. No one should feel out of place! A vegan journey of discovery not to be missed!
WHERE DO I FLY TO?
Please fly into / out of Francisco Sá Carneiro Airport (OPO), often known simply as Porto Airport. Located 11km northwest of Porto city centre, the airport caters to some six million passengers a year. This makes it the second-busiest airport in Portugal after Lisbon's Portela Airport.
WHERE EXACTLY WILL THE SHIP BE ON EMBARKATION DAY?
The exact coordinates will be announced to us only a few weeks before the cruise starts. You will get the information with your travel documents.
WHEN WILL I RECEIVE MY CRUISE TICKETS AND TRAVEL DOCUMENTS WITH ALL DETAILS?
Vegan Travel will send out the travel documents and cruise tickets via email 2 - 4 weeks prior to the cruise.
HOW DO I BOOK CRUISE EXTENSIONS?
