DOURO NORTH PORTUGAL S TREASURES CRUISES - 2018 -

We are very proud to be elected, once again, Europe s Leading Cruise Company, at the World Travel Awards 2017. This is the recognition of our dedication in order to offer the best service and river experience to our guests. Since its beginning, DouroAzul has established as core values the dedication to high quality and friendly guest service. Our value for money philosophy, with our guests needs and expectations paramount to our service delivery, allowed us to become one of the most respected operators worldwide. This successful path was developed on three strong foundational basis: the uniqueness of the Douro River Valley, highly qualified and trained staff, and the constant innovation inscribed in the ships we built and operate. While our ships are state of the art, the experience we offer our guests wouldn t be completed without a top quality service delivered by highly trained staff people. The Douro is more than the landscape of our cruises; its natural beauty, culture, traditions and people are an essential part of our programs allowing guests to journey through the region s soul and discover its treasures. This is the journey we invite you to embark on. Welcome aboard! Mário Ferreira, CEO

SUSTAINABILITY Classified as World Heritage Site by the UNESCO, and considered as one of the top World Sustainable Destinations by the National Geographic s Centre for Sustainable Destinations, the Douro River Valley as maintained its pristine and unspoiled landscape for centuries, making it one of the last hidden treasures in Europe. DouroAzul commits itself in helping to maintain this status by running its activities in a sustainable and environmentally conscious way. Over the years DouroAzul has been working to upgrade its fleet, innovating and leading the way for the river cruise industry in eco-efficiency. From the implementation of LED s lighting systems, solar panels and lower consumption engines, DouroAzul is at the helm of innovation in terms of ship design and construction, working to reduce its impact on the natural landscape. DouroAzul s sustainability policy isn t restricted to its ecological concerns but stretches to the social impact of tourism in the region. It is company policy to use, as much as possible, local workforce, products and services thus contributing to the overall economy and strengthening the ties that bound DouroAzul to the community. A stronger community is essential for a sustainable tourism environment. We believe that it s our duty to be the caretakers of this treasure that Nature and the preceding generations have left us, to ensure that future generations may enjoy and discover this unique landscape.

DOURO PORTO VALLEY SPAIN RÉGUA PORTUGAL GUIMARÃES MATEUS PALACE SALAMANCA SPAIN Crestuma Lever Dam Carrapatelo Dam Bagauste Dam Valeira Dam Pocinho Dam ATLANTIC OCEAN Bitetos S. João da Pesqueira VILA NOVA DE GAIA PINHÃO LAMEGO PORT WINE QUINTAS CASTELO RODRIGO BARCA D ALVA

Dams Porto Porto is the second-largest city in Portugal, located along the Douro River estuary in Northern Portugal. One of the oldest European centres, its historical core was proclaimed a world Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1996. The city is also blessed with a wealth of long, clean and sandy beaches. Guimarães Considered the Birthplace of Portugal, its historical town centre is listed as UNESCO World Heritage since 2001, in recognition for being an exceptionally well preserved and authentic example of the evolution of a mediaeval settlement into a modern town in Europe. Its pedestrianised area is a web of gently cobbled streets and alleyways with tiny restaurants and cute bars. Régua This peaceful town located in the northern of Portugal, backed by the mountains of Serra do Marão and overlooking the wide valley of the Douro River, is the official centre of the Port Wine growing region. Barrels of Wine were traditionally transported to Vila Nova de Gaia using wooden ships called Rabelos. Mateus Palace Designed by the architect Nicolau Nasoni and built in the 18th century, this is a master piece of the baroque style. Enjoy walking in the sculpted gardens or take your time to contemplate its façade. The dams that over the years were built on the Douro River are part of the Douro s experience. Along the river you will pass through the dams of Crestuma/Lever, Carrapatelo, Bagaúste, Valeira and Pocinho. Of special note is the dam of Carrapatelo one of the largest in Europe, with a 35m water level difference. Salamanca In the north western Spain it s known for its ornate sandstone architecture and its oldest western University, was declared UNESCO World Heritage. Visit this city and enjoy its great history and culture. Vila Nova de Gaia Located along the Douro River Estuary, Gaia is a Hub of the Port Wine Industry, peppered with cellars offering tours and tastings. Known for its diverse natural landscape with an extensive coastline with large sandy beaches to scenic riverside road, with its café terraces and expansive views across the Douro. Lamego Its origin dates back to Roman times. It was reconquered from the Moors in 1057. Lamego takes a special place in History for its artistic heritage and natural beauty. Here one should visit the Nossa Senhora dos Remédios Sanctuary and its impressive staircase. Pinhão Encircled by terraced hillsides that produce some of the world s best port - and some stellar table wines - pretty little Pinhão sits on a particularly lovely bend of the Douro River. Wineries and their competing signs dominate the scene. Even the delightful train station has handpainted tiles depicting the grape harvest. Porto Wine Quintas The estates which produce the grapes to make Port wine are known as Quintas. The stunning grounds of the many terraced Quintas where it s possible to taste the extraordinary Port wine, are one of the most expected highlights of a Douro Valley journey. Castelo Rodrigo It is well known for the beautiful natural surroundings as well as its well preserved historical monuments. Walk along the streets and enjoy the charm of this mediaeval walled village s atmosphere. Barca d Alva Surrounded by mountains, and on a placid bend in the Douro River, it s a curious spot-on. On the one hand, there s a long-abandoned railway line and a row of elderly cottages; on the other, there s a sparkling quayside with huge pontoons to accommodate the large Douro cruisers which disgorge passengers for a souvenir hunt.

OUR FLEET COMFORT & INNOVATION Over the last decade, DouroAzul has been pioneering innovation in river cruise ship design and efficiency. Focused on offering a unique experience along the Douro, our ships are designed with customers comfort and wellbeing in mind and specifically planned to travel along the Douro. From spacious staterooms, with floor to ceiling windows, to panoramic windows at restaurant and bar, DouroAzul ships were designed to allow guests an unparalleled view over the breathtaking landscapes that will journey with them throughout the cruise. Aboard our ships guests can also relax on the sun deck pool or enjoy a massage in the ship s spa. For those wishing to stay in shape, the onboard gyms offer the possibility to work out in a relaxed and tranquil atmosphere. All the ships in DouroAzul s fleet have broadband internet access and an infotainment system in all staterooms. Thrill-seeking guests that want to experience a different view of the Douro, can explore the skies in helicopter tours departing from the ship sun deck (on selected ships only). Eco-efficiency has also been a staple of DouroAzul s efforts on naval construction. From introducing the first ship fully equipped LED lighting system, to installing more than 150m2 of solar panels able to fuel the ship s electric system, our goal has been to reduce impacts on the environment, while innovating and leading the industry on best practices.

OUR KITCHEN THE BEST OF PORTUGAL S CULINARY HERITAGE The fleet s executive chefs deliver traditional hearty fare as well as, in keeping with the modern trends, occasionally add eclectic touches to offer guests new options and variety. We ensure that each course of it meal is paired with the perfect selection of wines to accent the dining experience. The chef will take each customer to a journey through a world of senses of the most traditional Portuguese s flavours. It s often said that Portugal has 365 recipes for cooking cod and in fact, there are many more. Bacalhau is served with scrambled eggs, olives and fries; as fish cakes; barbequed, oven-baked or simply boiled with cabbage and carrots, then drizzled in virgin olive oil. Superlative seafood, sun-ripened fruit, lamb raised on flower-speckled meadows, wild pigs eating on acorns in cork oak forests. Then, of course, there s the wine. No journey is complete without enjoying this ever present treat. Douro s wine with its rich, intense and very persistent aromas and flavours will take visitors throughout the region s extraordinary story and tradition, as the oldest officially controlled wine producing zone in the world. During the journey there will be plenty of opportunities to sample a wide variety of the region and country s labels and the Douro gastronomy experience will be an unforgettable journey.

OUR HOSPITALITY HIGH QUALITY SERVICE WITH TRADITIONAL PORTUGUESE HOSPITALITY DouroAzul ships are the perfect setting from which to explore the iconic Douro Valley, providing an intimate onboard environment. Designed to allow guests to enjoy a relaxed voyage and giving them the possibility to do as much or as little as they please. The teams are courteous and professional, highly trained and selected according their genuine personalities, polite service and supreme expertise, all this with the magnificent traditional Portuguese Hospitality. The customer is the focus, so the team will also be ready to provide the service suitable for specific needs.

W E A R E E X P L O R I N G T O M O R R O W by Mário Ferreira DouroAzul s President When DouroAzul started in 1993, few were those that would envision that, after 25 years, that single boat cruising the Douro would sprout to a group of more than 15 brands that help tourists travel around the World. As we place ourselves to embrace new and inspiring projects, we look back to what made us a leading river cruise company: the spirit of innovation and entrepreneurship, the will to endure the hardest of challenges, and the dedication of a team focused on delivering a high-quality standard of service. It s this focus and compromise that will keep us growing and innovating, always determined to provide a high value-for-money service to our guests, exploring new regions, developing new products and embarking on new and inspiring journeys. I believe that the future of Mystic Invest is exciting and will continue to ensure that our legacy will endure. Thank you. See you Tomorrow
