The verdict
Which should you choose?
Andorinha is an intimate Tauck River Cruises ship carrying 84 passengers, in service since 2020. Saudade is an intimate Tauck River Cruises ship carrying 84 passengers, due to enter service in 2027. Andorinha has no Bliss scores yet, so the verdict rests on the figures we do hold. Saudade has no Bliss scores or specs yet, so the verdict rests on the figures we do hold.
Choose Saudade if you want a newer ship or more crew per passenger: its maiden voyage was in 2027 (vs 2020) and it has a crew member for every 2.0 passengers (vs 2.3).

Andorinha
Andorinha, the latest river ship from Tauck River Cruises, was specifically designed and built to cruise Portugal's Douro River. The ship is a new build with minimized passenger capacity to provide more spacious staterooms and public areas — and thus a more intimate cruising experience.
