What's it like on board?

 

With a choice of bars and restaurants, there really is something for everyone onboard the Pride of Bilbao. Whether you choose the Four Seasons with its carvery and buffet-style dining, the less formal International Food Court or if you prefer to dine in style, why not try Mayfair's famous Langan's Brasserie.

 

During the day, why not pamper yourself in the health spa and beauty salon or take a plunge in the pool. At night, the Show Bar offers marvelous West End style shows while the late night DJ keeps the dance floor packed until the early hours. For a more relaxing time, the Posh bar offers the delights of the resident piano / vocalist. If this still doesn’t float your boat then you could try your luck at the onboard Casino or catch the latest box office smash at the cinema.

 

All onboard cabins offer superb value for money and are equipped with an ensuite shower room and WC with a choice of either inside or sea view location. Towels and bed linen are provided and there's plenty of space to hang your clothes too. For the ultimate in luxury, you can really treat yourself and indulge in a Club cabin.

What's it like in Bilbao?
 
Time in Bilbao may soon need to be identified as BG or AG (Before Guggenheim, After Guggenheim). Never has a single monument of art and architecture so radically changed a city. A shining new star in the heart of Bilbao has made all the difference to this lovely Spanish city with its historical Old Town. Frank Gehry’s Guggenheim Museum transformed Bilbao from a small-scale industrial port city to a fantastic retreat in-line with the most visited European destination cities.
