Inside Travelmarvel's New European River Cruise Ships
Take a look inside Travelmarvel’s sparkling new river ships, set to debut on Europe’s rivers in 2022.
The Douro's Sweet Spot
For more than 2,000 years, grapes have been harvested and wine has been produced in Portugal's Douro Valley. Vineyard boundaries were laid here in 1756, making this the oldest demarcated wine region in the world. Joe Boulous highlights why the Douro Valley remains the heart of Portugal’s wine country.
Wines of the Danube Table
Joseph Boulous takes to the magnificent Danube River to visit some of Europe’s most important wine regions. Whenever the phrase “fine European wine” is cited, familiar scenes of France’s Champagne region or Italy’s Chianti Road often spring to mind. However, Europe’s waterways have also played a significant role in shaping the landscape of centuries-old viticulture methods. At its heart lies the mighty Danube.
