Cruise in Andalusia: sail to the heart of southern Spain
Between rivers, palaces and whitewashed villages, a cruise in Andalusia plunges you into one of Europe's most enchanting regions. Seville, Cordoba, Cadiz, Granada: so many iconic places to discover at the pace of the water.
Why choose a cruise in Andalusia ?
Andalusia is a region like no other. Nestled in the far south of Spain, it concentrates on less than 90 000 km² a density of heritage, flavors and traditions that makes it one of the richest destinations in the Mediterranean basin. And to grasp its depth, a river cruise proves to be one of the most elegant ways to travel.
A voyage along the Guadalquivir
Sailing the Guadalquivir is a journey back in time. This 657-kilometer-long river has shaped Spanish history since antiquity: the Romans used it to transport olive oil, the Moors built their cities along it, and Christopher Columbus departed from it for his voyages to the New World. From the deck of a boat, you glide along Andalusia's banks, with the rice fields of Isla Minima, the marshes of Doñana National Park and the silhouettes of the white towns in the background.
This mode of travel offers rare comfort: you sleep aboard, your luggage doesn't move, and every morning you wake up in a new port. Thus, the Andalusian cruise combines the freedom of a circuit with the serenity of a laid-back stay.
