What were Solo Travel Girl’s favorite things about cruising in Portugal with Viking River Cruises? Lucky for you, each night of the 10-day cruise I recorded a video sharing what I liked best about the day. These videos were posted daily on my Facebook page, Facebook.com/solotravelgirl.

The video below (or accessible through this link if the video below does not play) includes those daily clips plus some of my favorite sights along Portugal’s Douro River and activities on the Viking Torgil.

Enjoy!

More memories of Portugal will be posted soon.

In the mean time, I’m STILL uploading photos to my #VikingCruises Flickr album and hope to respond to emails from my new cruise friends soon!
