TAUCK has released further details of its upcoming river ship ms Andorinha, which is due to commence sailing the Douro River through Spain and Portugal from Mar 2020.
Currently undergoing sea trials in the Netherlands, Andorinha’s newly revealed features include a marquee sundeck area which will feature canopied Balinese day beds, as well as an infinity-style pool that is five times larger than the plunge pools featured on Tauck’s other riverboats.
The sundeck space will also boast an outdoor grill to host casual barbecues, along with a full-service bar.
A pop-up restaurant called Arthur’s will also be on board the latest ship, which will rise from the stern on hydraulic lifts to become an eatery offering panoramic views.
Andorinha will incorporate a range of features designed with the temperature comfort of passengers in mind, such as an air conditioning system with twice the cooling capacity found on Tauck’s regular ships, as well as windows with a special UV coating to let in natural light while also blocking out 82% of the sun’s heat.
Tauck is offering three Douro River itineraries aboard Andorinha in 2020; a 12-day journey that bookends a seven-night Douro cruise, an eight-day “cruise-only” itinerary, and an eight-day Tauck Bridges cruise designed specifically for families.
