Spain Mini Cruise

“Spend 3-nights on board P&O’s Pride of Bilbao on this great value mini-cruise!”

Join us for three nights on board P&O’s Pride of Bilbao Cruiseferry for this low-priced mini-cruise to Spain. You will board one of our executive coaches from your free local pick-up point as we travel to Portsmouth to join our Cruiseferry. On board P&O’s Pride of Bilbao you will be able to enjoy the fabulous on-board facilities. You can take dinner in one of the sumptuous restaurants or relax and watch a movie in the cinema. Enjoy the live band in the cabaret lounge or dance ‘til you drop in the ship’s disco!

As you sail south towards Spain, settle down on a sun lounger and top-up your tan. You will arrive in Spain around breakfast time on day three and the morning will be free to visit the old town of Santurtzi. Here, there may be the opportunity to buy some low priced cigarettes, beers and spirits. You will reboard your cruiseferry around lunchtime. As you set sail for home you can once again enjoy the ship’s entertainment or just relax and unwind. On morning four you can make those last-minute ‘buys’ from the onboard shops before arriving in Portsmouth late afternoon and transferring back on to your executive coach for the journey home.

Whale & Dolphin Spotting

On board the Pride of Bilbao, P&O have included a whale and dolphin observation lounge. You can make use of this platform, as the ship sails through some of the best waters in the world for seeing whales and dolphins. Overboard, sights to look out for include 21 species of whales and dolphins that have been regularly monitored from the ship, including the blue whale, the largest animal on the planet.

Your Cruiseferry Accommodation
