For many of my fellow guests, the ravishing Douro countryside with its dramatic vineyard terraces, dry craggy hills and bustling port towns will be the most memorable part of this 11 day cruise, but for me it will be the enthusiasm, good humour and genuine warmth of our Portuguese hosts, especially those on Scenic Azure, that will stay with me.
