The MS La Belle de Cadix is an exceptional ship, designed to sail both rivers and coastal waters, offering a truly unique way to discover Andalusia. Cruising the Guadalquivir and Guadiana rivers, she links historic towns, picturesque villages, and stunning natural landscapes, all at a gentle pace that allows for genuine immersion. Each stopover invites you to experience local traditions, rich heritage, authentic gastronomy, and the vibrant Andalusian spirit.
Her name pays tribute both to the city of Cádiz, a jewel of the Atlantic coast, and to the famous operetta La Belle de Cadix, immortalized by Luis Mariano and Jacky Flint.
This cultural nod perfectly embodies the soul of the ship: elegant, welcoming, and deeply connected to Andalusia's charm.
Unlike most river ships, La Belle de Cadix also sails out into the Atlantic, reaching the legendary city of Cádiz. This rare coastal voyage offers breathtaking views of cliffs, beaches, and seascapes, where river and ocean meet in a moment of pure wonder.
On board, comfort meets conviviality: bright cabins, some with French balconies, offer space and privacy, while inviting common areas such as the Pianoramabar, the refined restaurant, and the sun deck with its lounge chairs provide the perfect setting to relax and admire the scenery.
Versatile and elegant, La Belle de Cadix transports you through Spanish traditions, cultural gems, and peaceful moments of relaxation. Whether gliding along a river or gazing at the horizon from the sea, every moment is an invitation to experience Andalusia in all its beauty.
Last June, during one of our cruises along the Guadalquivir River, our guests were treated to an unforgettable evening filled with history, emotion, and music. Among the passengers was Patricia de Figueiredo, daughter of singer Jacky Flint, one of the creators of the operetta La Belle de Cadix, made famous alongside Luis Mariano.
In the convivial spirit of the journey, Patricia graciously agreed to sing for our guests on board. Having prepared with a few singing lessons shortly before the cruise, she delighted everyone during the gala aperitif with a heartfelt performance of La Belle de Cadix. Her moving rendition, enriched by the personal connection to her father's legacy, created a magical moment that transcended generations. Before her performance, Patricia also shared the story behind this legendary operetta.
The surprise captivated the audience, leaving everyone enchanted by this once-in-a-lifetime experience, an evening of music, heritage, and emotion that will remain etched in our memories. Created in 1945 by Francis Lopez, Jacky Flint, and Luis Mariano, La Belle de Cadix is a joyful, romantic operetta blending love stories, playful misunderstandings, and spirited music. Deeply inspired by Andalusia and the city of Cádiz, it celebrates the region's charm through its festivals, dances, and sunshine. Even today, its iconic melodies continue to inspire dreams and remain a cherished symbol of French musical heritage.
On board, every sip is part of the pleasure. Whether in the restaurant, the lounge bar, on the sunny deck terrace, or in the comfort of your cabin, your drinks are included throughout your cruise.
Enjoy a refreshing cocktail, a local beer, a fine glass of wine, or simply your favourite drink, at any time of day.
Whether after an excursion, during a delicious meal, or on a relaxing evening, this freedom is all part of the CroisiEurope experience.
For connoisseurs, a premium menu of fine wines and exceptional spirits is also available at an additional cost, making every toast on board a special one.
Sailing into Budapest is always unforgettable. On board the MS Modigliani, our guests were captivated by the breathtaking panorama of the Parliament, the Chain Bridge, and the hills of Buda as the ship glided gracefully along the Danube. This majestic arrival offers one of Europe's most iconic vistas, a spectacular first glimpse of the Hungarian capital that never fails to impress.
