Cruise Line Details

For those of you tired with the hustle and bustle of busy airports, cramped seats and awful food, the relaxed atmosphere of a 'city at sea' will be a welcoming breath of fresh air. The three night return cruise can make a terrific short break to Bilbao or can be used as a refreshing way to reach Spain for a longer holiday.

 

Portsmouth to Bilbao Mini Cruise The Pride Of Bilbao;

The ship itself will provide you with plenty to see and do during the cruise with a wealth of shops, restaurants, bars, a club and two cinemas. After which you have the benefit of your own cabin to relax in.

 

Itinerary;

You can normally board the ship a few hours before it sets sail giving you time to find your cabin, take a shower in the cabins en-suite and explore everything on offer. The Pride Of Bilbao departs from Portsmouth in the evening when you can enjoy fine food in one of the restaurants or dance the night away while you cruise out through the English Channel.

The following morning you will be close to the Bay of Biscay and can look forward to a full day at sea. After breakfast you might want to go shopping or see a movie and don't miss the opportunity to spot dolphins and whales from the decks. The bay of Biscay is an area where three major sea currents meet and it can be choppy at times so don't forget to pack some travel pills.

On the second morning you will wake to the calm waters of Spain as you approach Bilbao harbour.

 

Bilbao;

Bilbao is one of the most beautiful port cities in the world. If you are returning on the mini cruise you will have a few hours to explore; if you are staying in Spain for longer Bilbao is worth at least an overnight stop. Walk along the river past the Guggenheim Museum towards the old town and discover the quaint squares, shops and tappas bars.

 

Getting There:

By Air; Portsmouth can be reached by bus or train from any of the major airports within England.

By Road; Traffic around the south of England is generally congested, particularly at peak times. Plenty of time should be allowed for arrival at port.
