Arriving in Spain at the port of Santurtzi you are can either explore the home port or opt for one of three shore excursions. Each tour is designed to give you a little taste of Spanish life. Choose one of the following and book onboard for a small additional charge:

Guggenheim museum visit
If you're looking to expand your knowledge of fine art, or to experience a little culture, then pay a visit to the Guggenheim Museum. As the cultural and tourist driving force of the Basque country, this spectacular building is covered with titanium sheets and houses its own private collection. This Fine Arts Museum is among the best of its kind in Spain, housing three collections: art through the centuries, contemporary art and the Basque art. The museum visit is not available on Mondays between September and July.

Taste of old and new Bilbao
A guided walking tour of old and new Bilbao giving you the opportunity to enjoy the architectural heritage and indulge in some retail therapy at the same time.

The Old Quarter has a wide range of products in traditional establishments, shops selling the latest fashions and modern shopping centres. There are all kinds of traditional produce, antique books, food and modern clothing. This area is also a great place for eating out, why not sample the local tapas?

Along with the more traditional shops of the Old Quarter there is also Indautxu, the area for 'high street' shopping. Here you can purchase anything - made-to-measure shirts, jewellery or intricately hand-embroidered cloth. Strolling through the streets gives you the perfect opportunity to appreciate the stunning architecture of the buildings.

Spanish fishing village - Castro Urdiales
To experience a traditional Spanish fishing village there is a coach trip to Castro Urdiales. The village has the charm of a quaint fishing village coupled with rich tradition. The town centre with it characteristic houses, monuments and narrow streets makes it perfect for strolling through. Whilst in Castro Urdiales look out for the symbolic sites of the church of Santa Maria, and the castle-lighthouse, which are significant examples of the Cantabria's Gothic architecture.

There's something for everyone onboard at P&O Ferries with cinemas showing the latest box office smashes. If you're feeling lucky then why not take a trip to the casino and the slot machines? Kids will be entertained with the kids club - everything from face painting to arts and crafts to mini-discos are on offer in the Junior Crew Club. Keep an eye out for the Club mascot, the infamous Pirate Pete! There is also a video arcade onboard with popular action-filled games.

A Taste of Northern Spain


If you're thinking of heading over to Spain for a wine tour holiday, there's no better way to go than with P&O Ferries. Bilbao is the gateway to Northern Spain and perfectly situated to explore Spain's most famous wine regions.

And from just £249* each way including your car, two people and an inside cabin, you can spend more on what you love most while enjoying all the freedom and boot space of your own car to tour the wineries and vineyards and bring home as much wine as you like.

Not far from Bilbao are the regions of Rioja, with its world famous reds, the picturesque Ribera del Duoro or Rueda with its acclaimed white wines. With your own car, you're free to roam at your own pace to these and other wine producing areas.

P&O Ferries know how to make your trip to Spain special. They are experts in providing a comfortable and highly enjoyable travel experience. So why not spend an evening wining and dining in one of their restaurants such as the exclusive Langan's Brasserie? Afterwards, you could take a stroll on deck, have a drink in one of our bars, or take in some entertainment before returning to your comfortable cabin. The choice is yours.


PS If you want all the fun of onboard cruising but do not want to take your car for a touring visit to Northern Spain, you can always consider Portsmouth-Bilbao mincruises from £15 pp each way.
