Adventures on the way
Enjoy a cruise experience and an amazing
getaway to Spain all in one with our
fantastic Portsmouth-Bilbao route. The
stresses and strains of everyday life will melt
away in no time when you take advantage
of everything that’s on offer onboard. Get
your pulse going in the gym, relax in a
sauna or beauty salon, take in one of
your favourite blockbusters on the big
screen or try your hand at the casino.
The choice is yours.
Up on deck, there’s plenty of room to
enjoy the wide open horizons and beautiful
seascapes. You may even share the ride
with whales or dolphins for a breathtaking
marine safari experience you won’t forget
in a hurry. The knowledgeable onboard
wildlife officer will help you spot our
enchanting aquatic companions.
Off to the best start
With the whole of Spain and Portugal ready
to explore with your car on arrival, it’s a
good thing that our comfortable ensuite
cabins will help you to fully recharge your
batteries and get you in the swing of
things. And for only £15 more each way,
you can enjoy a wonderful sea view too.
At your convenience
A choice of up to three sailings a week
help you plan a trip that’s right for you.
We’ve made the departure and arrival
times convenient too, helping you make
the most of your precious holiday time.
Bilbao’s excellent transport links ensure
that onwards travel to the rest of Spain,
Portugal or southern France becomes
refreshingly straightforward, leaving you
to concentrate on having a great time.
Do it your way
Arriving with your own car means that the
rest is up to you. You could give yourself
a real break to remember without even
leaving Bilbao, with its great seafood
restaurants, quaint old quarter and famous
Guggenheim museum. But while you’re
there, it’d be a shame not to explore
further afield. Spain is a land of real
contrasts, from endless golden sandy
beaches to vast untouched mountain
ranges. Its cultural heritage is incredibly
varied too, ranging from the proudly
independent traditions of the northern
Basque country to the Mediterranean
charm of Andalucia. Catalonia boasts yet
another unique flavour, with Barcelona’s
famous spires and nightlife only 5½
hours travel away by motorway.
A fiesta for your tastebuds
One of the many great things about Spain
is the fabulous food and drink, as you’d
expect from a nation that brought the
world the joys of tapas, chorizo and Rioja.
Of course, with our excellent range of
onboard dining, you can get a taste for
the finer things before you even arrive.
