Andalucia Cruise Ports

Andalucia Cruise Ports

There are numerous ports in Southern Spain but very few are large and important enough to accommodate large ships. Cruise ships often stop in Cadiz, the gateway to the Mediterranean Sea and the choice of cruise companies that stop here is ample.

The ports of call in Andalucia for Mediterranean cruises are all on the Mediterranean Sea except for Cadiz and Huelva which are on the Atlantic Coast.

Cadiz is also the main car ferry port from the Spanish mainland to the Spanish Canary Islands off the coast of Africa.

Cruise ships often lay on guided tours
to the site and cities near the port of call, it may be a deciding factor on
your choice of cruise depending on
which Andalucian city or cities you'd
like to include in your itinerary.

From the ports Almeria, Malaga and Motril it's possible to go to Granada for a day trip and visit the Alhambra Palace and from Cadiz you can go to Sevilla. But to be honest there is plenty to see and do in the town or city of your stop,and not really enough time to do justice on the day trips further inland.

Other options are river cruises and ferries trips. Cruise down the Guadalquivir river in Seville and imagine the days when the boats of Columbus landed with their findings from the New World.

Ferries cross from the southern coast to Morrocco, Cadiz to the Canary Islands and the Eastern Spanish coast to the Balearic Islands.
