MS Infante Don Henrique

Admire the breathtaking views of the Douro, the "river of gold", from the comfort of the MS Infante Don Henrique, a ship small enough to moor at a town or city port, but large enough to provide you every amenity.

This was my first experience with Adventure Life - and I couldn't have been more pleased with the trip. The guides and local staff in both Buenos Aires and Uruguay were terrific - extremely helpful and accommodating. I really enjoyed meeting the friendly staff in Buenos Aires in person (I left my bags with them for the afternoon).

Jessica Roberts is amazing. I told her the adventure I desired, my budget, and my desired dates. After searching exhaustively on my own, I found nothing. Jessica performed magic and found exactly what I was looking for, even though I gave her relatively short notice. I will seek her advice for all of my future travel needs. Thank you, Jessica!!
