The new 2005 Spanish Collection brochure includes many savings on 2004 prices

Brittany Ferries Holidays has reduced many of last year’s accommodation prices in their 2005 Spanish Collection and now associated ferry travel is available at a guaranteed saving of 20% on any Brittany Ferries’ public fares and on-board accommodation to Spain.

Additional savings can be made with a "7 nights for the price of 6" offer at selected hotels and 10% off stays of 2 weeks or more at certain casas. Some hotels are even offering free accommodation for children under 12.

And to show how confident Brittany Ferries Holidays is that you won’t find an identical holiday for less, its Price Match Guarantee ensures that if you do, it will match the price and give you £30 worth of dining vouchers for use in any of the ship’s main restaurants.

Not only does the 2005 Spanish Collection offer outstanding value, but an even greater choice of self-drive holidays: There are hotels, villas, casas, chalet campsites, apartments, paradores, car tours and walks.

New for 2005 is a tour of Spain’s wine country, including the world famous La Rioja, when having your own car is a must for bringing back your wine purchases. Prices start at  £446 per person based on two sharing for 7 nights half board in luxury Paradores (ferry extra). And for those who love the rich culture and history of Spain's ancient towns and cities, the new City Tour is the perfect way to take in the sights. Prices start at £254 per person based on two people sharing for 7 nights on a bed and breakfast basis (ferry extra).

Situated between the Picos de Europa in the west and the Pyrenees in the east, the Brittany Ferries port of Santander is the ideal starting point to discover the outstanding and, largely undiscovered, scenery of Northern Spain. The 2005 Spanish Collection includes old favourites, such as the car tour taking you along the pilgrims’ way to Santiago de Compostela and a new 3-day guided walking tour for foot passengers in the Picos de Europa, with a starting price of £151 per person for 3 night’s full board (ferry extra).

The key overall feature of the 2005 programme is self-packaging. You can mix and match accommodation types from both the Spanish Collection and the French Collection, together with a ferry crossing to or from France or Spain, to tailor-make a holiday that’s exactly right for you.

Travelling to Spain aboard Brittany Ferries’ £100 million flagship, Pont-Aven, really is an amazing way to start and finish your holiday with a relaxing 18 ½ hour cruise. There are sailings every Wednesday and Sunday from 16 March until 10 November, leaving Plymouth conveniently in the afternoon at 16.00 and arriving in Santander the following morning at 11.30. Return sailings are every Thursday and Monday at 15.30 arriving at 09.30 every Friday and Tuesday.
