Please Note: Tickets for any Alhambra tour are available on a request basis only. Bookings will initially be waitlisted until the individual Alhambra entrance ticket can be confirmed. As Alhambra entrance tickets are personalized and sold in advance, it is essential that your passport information is on file in your cruise booking when waitlisting for this tour. You must carry the same passport on the tour for entry to the Alhambra. Waitlisted bookings not associated with passport information will not be confirmed into an actual booking. Please note that cancellation fees apply at the moment of waitlisting, as a waitlist request prompts us to secure your ticket. If several Alhambra tours are available for your date of call, please waitlist for only one Alhambra tour option. Should you waitlist on multiple Alhambra tours for the same date and several tickets are purchased for you, please be aware that all tickets are non-refundable.
Discover the Alhambra -- the dramatic highlight of historic Granada -- on this unforgettable tour. A number of interesting sights will be visible from the coach along the 2½-hour drive to Granada, and your guide will introduce you to local traditions and history as you travel.
Granada itself is a beautiful city, but nothing in all of Spain compares to the wealth of architectural art to be found in the city's Muslim-Hispano complex -- the 14th-century . This breathtaking example of Muslim architecture is surrounded by walls and towers, and inside you will find palaces, military buildings, a fortress and an administrative center. Explore this remarkable structure whose detailed mosaics, prism-style cupolas and stone-cast latticework offer a surprising grace and sophistication. On this special visit you will discover several points of interest that form part of the Alhambra complex.itself is a beautiful city, but nothing in all of Spain compares to the wealth of architectural art to be found in the city's Muslim-Hispano complex -- the 14th-century Alhambra.

A highlight is the Generalife palace and gardens, built to offer the Sultans a comfortable and fresh residence for the hot summer months. Vegetable and ornamental gardens provided fresh produce and flowers for the palace. Also quite unforgettable is the Alcazaba Fortress, which served as base for the defense and security of the Alhambra, and grew into a small city to house the impressive army.
A short walk brings you to the lunch venue, where you will relax over a delicious meal.

Travel time to Granada is approximately 2½ hours each way, with a brief restroom stop (time permitting) en route. The Alhambra is not accessible to wheelchairs or walkers.
