1 / 10Seville Highlights Excursion -for Cruisers only -from Cadiz Port
About this activity
An 8-hour guided excursion from Cadiz port to Seville, showcasing the city's UNESCO-listed treasures—the Royal Alcázar Palace and Cathedral—plus the atmospheric Santa Cruz quarter and historic Archive of the Indies. Designed exclusively for cruise passengers with priority palace access and personalized small-group attention.
Leave the cruise port at Cadiz and spend a day in the Andalucian city of Seville! This full-day shore excursion includes a walking tour around the must-see neighborhood of Santa Cruz, a trip to the General Archive of the Indies, and viewing of Seville Cathedral and Royal Alcazar Palace (Reales Alcázares) — two UNESCO World Heritage sites. Skip the lines outside the palace with a priority-access entrance ticket, and admire its extravagant architecture before enjoying some free time. Enjoy personalized attention from your guide on this small-group tour, limited to 10-18 people once you arrive in Seville (transportation to Seville may be in a motor-coach bus for a more comfortable experience).
