Spain Cruises

A great selection of cruises go to Spain since most of the major international cruise lines offer sailings to many Spanish ports, mostly embarking from Barcelona. This includes the Norwegian Cruise Line, Celebrity Cruises, MSC Cruises, Princess Cruises, Royal Caribbean International, Holland America Line plus more!

Generally, the best time for a Mediterranean cruise  is between the months of April and October with the peak season being July to September. For Spain specifically, the prime months would be from April through October as well, as this is the period when the temperatures are warmer and the seas are calmer. 

Spain has numerous ports of call from north to south where cruise ships dock. So, wherever you want to visit, it’s likely accessible by cruise. These ports include Alicante, Almeria, Bilbao, Barcelona, Cadiz, Cartagena, Ibiza, Mallorca, Malaga, Valencia and Vigo.

Barcelona’s port is quite centrally located; it only takes roughly around 30 minutes to get to the city centre from the port. This puts the city in a great location to get to and from for either a day exploring or a pre/post cruise stay. However, it's a bit of a trek to walk from the port to the city. You can reach the city by train or shuttle bus, but it often involves changing, so taxis are recommended if you’re after a hassle-free transfer.

The official currency used in Spain is the euro just like in the other European Union's Member States. A tip for tourists when withdrawing currency at an ATM: choose to pay in euro to avoid paying more than you need to and get the best rates available.
