S.S. Sao Rafael
The S.S. São Rafael Brings a Second Chapter to the Douro
The original São Rafael sailed alongside Vasco de Gama's flagship in 1497, captained by his brother Paulo on the same historic voyage that opened the sea route to India. Uniworld's S.S. São Rafael is a purpose-built Douro river ship joining the S.S. São Gabriel on the river that made Portugal's wine country famous. The pairing is a fitting one, and for guests who've already sailed the S.S. São Gabriel, the São Rafael offers a reason to come back to the Douro without repeating the same experience.
At 262 feet, carrying 94 guests with a staff of 37, the São Rafael keeps the intimate scale that makes the Douro work as a river cruise destination. Across 47 staterooms, the options run from Classic cabins at 144 to 156 square feet up through French Balcony staterooms in two categories. Deluxe staterooms step up to 164 square feet with additional space to settle in. The 12 Suites offer 220 square feet each, a comfortable upgrade for guests who want more room across a multi-night voyage. Book the S.S. São Rafael today and discover the Douro on one of its newest ships.
