This interesting cruise is a chance to see some of the best Andalucia has to offer. Explore Seville, Cadiz and Alcoutim on the Guadiana River, and choose from an excellent selection of optional excursions to historic towns and cities.

Seville is a leafy city full of stunning Moorish architecture - see the Alcazar Palace and its Andalucian Gardens, and the Torre del Oro on the Guadalquivir River. The gold dome of the cathedral dominates the skyline of Cadiz, the stepping off point for an optional visit to Jerez before sailing to Portuguese Alcoutim for a tour of Faro.

The next call is El Puerto de Santa Maria, where there is a 19th-century bullring and the fortified church of San Marcos, built inside the walls of an ancient mosque. Alternatively, there is the option to take an excursion to Gibraltar.

Return to Seville for two days of fascinating discoveries. Tours are offered to the magnificent Alhambra Palace, Granada, and to Cordoba and its impressive mosque-cathedral, a maze of 856 Moorish columns.

Day 1 - Seville (Spain)

Embark from 6pm and settle into your cabin. There will be a presentation by the crew and a welcome cocktail is followed by dinner on board. Free evening in Seville. Overnight stopover.

Day 2 - Seville

Today the focus is an optional tour of Cordoba, the City of the Caliphs. You will discover the mosque-cathedral, a forest of 856 columns adorned with jasper, granite and precious marble; and the Juderia, the former Jewish quarter of white lanes and courtyards.

Day 3 - Seville - Cadiz

Breakfast on board followed by an optional guided tour of Seville with the Alcazar and cathedral, or opt for the guided bike tour of Seville passing the Alcazar. This afternoon is spent sailing. Tonight, join the optional flamenco evening.

Day 4 - Cadiz

In the morning there is an optional excursion to Jerez, capital of wine and horses, and the birthplace of flamenco song. You will enjoy a panoramic view of the Alcazar and the cathedral and visit a ganaderia. Return to the ship for lunch followed by an optional guided tour of Cadiz or an optional guided hike along the oceanfront to the Castle of San Sebastian followed by a tasting of local products.

Day 5 - Alcoutim (Portugal)

Enjoy breakfast as we cruise along the Guadiana River, sailing past fabulous landscapes. We arrive in the typical Algarve village of Alcoutim where there is free time before lunch on board. The ship then departs for Vila Real de St Antonio where there is an optional guided tour of Faro. Dinner on board tonight has a Portuguese theme followed by traditional entertainment. Set sail tonight for El Puerto de Santa Maria.

Day 7 - Seville

Today is entirely devoted to a visit to Granada. Set against the impressive mountain range of the Sierra Nevada, Granada was built on the slopes of the Albaicin, Sacromonte and Alhambra hills. The imposing city owes its prestige to its Arabic monuments, in particular to the Alhambra. We visit this, the genuine palace of 1001 nights and the Generalife, the former summer residence of the kings. After lunch in a local restaurant there is a little free time in Granada before returning to Seville and dinner on board. The crew provide an evening of entertainment.
