Cadiz, Spain Cruise Packages from Destination Oceans

Experience what Spain has to offer on a Mediterranean Cruise to Cadiz with Destination Oceans. Cadiz is a city and port in southwestern Spain. It is the capital of the province of the same name, a province which is one of the eight comprising the autonomous community of Andalusia. It is the oldest continuously-inhabited city in western Europe, has been a principal home port of the Spanish Navy since the accession of the Spanish Bourbons in the 18th century. It is also the site of the University of Cadiz.

Cadiz's peculiar location at the end of a narrow peninsula protruding into the Bay of Cadiz lends added charm to this ancient city. In actuality, Cadiz is on an island which is separated from the mainland by a larger island, the Isla de Leon; thus, to reach the mainland from Cadiz, it is necessary to cross a narrow channel to the low-lying Isla de Leon, before crossing another narrow channel to the mainland. This geographical circumstance has played, time and again, a significant part in the city's history, commerce, and culture. Isolated behind its high thick medieval walls on its improbable site in the middle of the bay, Cadiz, on approach from the sea, presents a dramatic and aesthetically appealing view. And what better way to see the city then by a Mediterranean Cruise from Destination Oceans.
