Just returned from this holiday. The first thing, this is not really a river cruise as some seem to be expecting. For 4 days the boat is moored in Saville and trips to Cordoba, Granada etc go from there. The river cruise bit is 2 days when you sail down to Cadiz and Isla Santa Maria. The La Belle de Cadiz is excellent. The cabins are not very big but comfortable and very clean as is all of the boat. The staff cannot be faulted. They are smiling and helpful. Food on board is of a high standard, and they catered for everyone who had particular preferences or allergies. Excursions every day. The one to Granada is a long day but the visit to the Alhambra is worth it. Altogether it is a very enjoyable trip.

Hi Sue2,

Thanks for taking the time to write a review. I am one of those people who is not sure if she would like a cruise or not, so maybe this could be a starter trip for me.

Kind Regards

Kezzer

Just to mention if you are going on this trip in February, do take a jacket. It can be very cold on some of the days out. Cordoba and Granada were sunny but very chilly! 🙂

Thanks Mildred.   I want to keep updated as I hope there will be a lively number!   Obviously as you advertise two trips in February these are normally well attended.

If there are 88 people in a party are they divided into smaller groups?
