Cabins

MS Queen Isabel ship is currently chartered by Uniworld Cruises for all sailings along the Douro.

The boat is Portugal-built and staffed by all Portuguese crew (the only exception is the Dutch chef).

Queen Isabel has 59 staterooms (of which 20 Suites, in 5 grades) which are relatively small in comparison with those on other Uniworld ships.

The vessel's dimensions have been dictated by the relatively narrow and short locks along Douro River.

Onboard amenities are slightly different from those available on all Uniworld-owned vessels. The cabins' beds, for example, are smaller. The lower deck cabins have large windows.

All staterooms on the upper two decks feature beautifully appointed balconies. There is also adequate storage space and good bathrooms with L'Occitane en Provence products.

Shipboard facilities

MS Queen Isabel has a Restaurant (Main dining room) and Main Lounge (featuring a full-service Bar). Other amenities include a swimming pool on the Sun deck, Serenity River Spa, fitness center, boutique, and elevator. All guests are pampered with complimentary coffee bar and free Wi-Fi and Internet access.

Queen Isabel Douro River cruise prices are per person and based on double occupancy. These are only indicative Uniworld Portugal rates. They might be different when you book your Uniworld Douro River cruise only or cruisetour deals, influenced by travel agency promotions, special offers, and discounts, group travel booking or last-minute deals rates.

Uniworld offers air-inclusive cruise deals and pre/post-cruise hotel packages as extensions (at additional cost).
