MS Belle de Cadix
The MS La Belle de Cadix is a CroisiEurope ship operating in Spain, combining navigation on both river and sea along the Guadalquivir and the Guadiana. It follows an Andalusian itinerary that includes Cadix, Séville, Grenade, Cordoue, Huelva and the Doñana National Park, offering stops that highlight cultural landmarks and regional heritage. The experience is associated with Spain-focused cruising themes such as cultural discovery, gastronomy, flamenco, relaxation, balcony cabin accommodation and an all-inclusive formula. This ship is well suited for travellers seeking a culturally immersive cruise experience in southern Spain that blends inland waterways and coastal navigation with structured sightseeing and regional experiences.

Frequently Asked Questions
110 m long by 11.40 m wide, over 3 decks plus a sun deck. That is the same hull size as the CroisiEurope Rhine boats, adapted to the Guadalquivir and the Bay of Cadiz.
176 passengers with 34 crew. That is one of the largest capacities in the fleet, behind the 178 of the MS Beethoven and the MS L'Europe, and ahead of the 172 of the MS Gérard Schmitter.
Yes, on the sun deck. Of the 60 vessels CroisiEurope publishes, we counted 12 with a pool, and most sail outside the rivers of Western Europe: the 5 Douro vessels, the Nile, the Mekong, Lake Kariba. On the Guadalquivir this ship remains an exception, and in Andalusia, where September afternoons are hot, that matters.
Yes. CroisiEurope describes its three-deck boats as fitted with a lift giving access to the different levels, and this one has three. On a boat of 176 passengers with an often older clientele, that is a real selling point.
CroisiEurope does not publish it for this boat. It does publish it for other vessels in the same fleet, such as the 13.50 m² of the MS Gérard Schmitter. We will not fill that blank with an estimate: our advisors request the official deck plan.
The Guadalquivir and the Bay of Cadiz, from Seville. The Guadalquivir is navigable up to Seville for only about a hundred kilometres; the programme then heads into salt water. She is a river boat that touches the sea, which remains rare.
Five programmes from Seville. The essence of Andalusia in 6 days on 5 and 10 November. Seville, Huelva and Cadiz in 8 days on 3 and 10 September. The ham route and white villages in 8 days on 3 November. An Andalusian Christmas on 22 December and an Andalusian New Year on 28 December.
Seville has no non-stop flight from Montreal-Trudeau. Plan a connection, usually through Madrid, which is served non-stop, or through Barcelona or Lisbon. Allow a night before embarkation.
The upper deck for the picture windows with a French balcony, the intermediate deck for the large windows. The main deck has portholes only, and that is the most concrete difference between categories. With a lift on board, moving up a deck costs no effort.
No. It is a glazed opening onto a waist-high railing. You can open it and take in the river air; you cannot put a chair out there or have lunch on it.
A restaurant on the main deck, a lounge bar on the intermediate deck, a Pianorama Bar aft on the upper deck for aperitifs and evenings, and a sun deck with the pool. There is no spa and no gym.
The main deck portholes, when the guest thought they were buying a window. The missing published cabin size, which makes comparison hard. And Andalusian heat in September, which the pool makes bearable but which surprises a traveller from Quebec.
Full board, drinks with meals and at the bar, Wi-Fi, port taxes and onboard entertainment. Shore excursions, gratuities, the premium wine list and transfers are not included. Cordoba, Jerez and Granada are visited ashore, so the excursion budget matters.
This is the most workable European programme for a child, thanks to the pool, but nothing is laid on for them: no club, no youth programming. The cultural excursion days stay long for a primary-school child.
On the Guadalquivir, almost never. In the Bay of Cadiz a light chop is possible in a westerly, nothing like ocean swell. She is the only one of our European river boats to touch salt water.
