Day 1: Coach departs for Portsmouth, ship sails 8:30 p.m., night at sea.

Day 2: Enjoy the day at sea aboard the P&0 'Pride of Bilbao' with all the ship's fabulous amenities. There's plenty to do onboard to keep you busy for the two night crossing to Bilbao. There are West End style shows, cinema, restaurants, bars and nightclub. During the day, why not pamper yourself in the health spa and beauty salon or enjoy a visit to the hairdressers. Nature lovers can spot dolphins and whales from the observation deck as we sail through the Bay of Biscay.

Day 3: Ship docks in Bilbao and you may stay in the port town of Santurtzi or join us on the optional excursion to San Sebastion, the capital of the Guipuzcoa province, the smallest province in Spain. Enjoy the traditional Basque country and culture. San Sebastian also enchantingly mixes the new with the old and this is very much part of the city's charm. You can take a step back in time and visit the Old Quarter or the charming fishing village, or meander through the Plaza de Gipuzcoa, or the Calle Prim, where there are modern houses and wide avenues. Indeed, the charming beachfront promenade has the Old Quarter on one end and a modern shopping centre on the other end. We then travel on to the hotel for your overnight stay.

Day 4: Today is an opportunity to discover Comillas, San Vicente de la Barquera and Santillana. Comillas is a monumental tourist area with numerous attractions, including its attractive beach protected by gentle hills. The Palace of Sobrellano and the Capricho de Gaudí are two architectural gems that must be seen. Santillana with its historical centre Santillana Del Mar is a town where it looks as if time has stood still in its medieval streets. The cultural heritage of this entire historical-artistic monument extends to the towers of Merino and Don Borja, to the houses of Águila and la Parra and the palaces of Barreda Bracho, Benamejí, Tagle, Velarde and Villa. In the evening we return to the hotel.

Day 5: Relax on your own today or join us as we visit the fishing villages of Santana and Castro. The Romanesque church of Santa María del Puerto built between the 13th and 17th centuries houses Flemish paintings from the 15th century. Castro Urdiales has all the charm of a small seafaring fishing village with a rich tradition and tourist atmosphere. The town centre, with its characteristic houses, is medieval in origin and earned recognition as a Historic Site in 1978. The town also possesses highly valuable examples of cave painting, such as in the cave of Peña del Cuco, which contains drawings from the Upper Paleolithic period, with reproductions of deer, horses and goats. Equally worth a mention is the Roman archaeological site of Flavióbriga, which occupies the entire subsoil of the current city. We return to the hotel for our final overnight before our departure back to the UK
