Spain Mini
Cruise -
4 Days
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. There are always plenty
of activities to join in with so you can do as much, or
as little, as suits you.
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.
