while sailing in luxury with Brittany
Ferries' cruise to Spain
Brittany Ferries have teamed up with Planet Whale and marine conservation charity ORCA to bring passengers our first Big Whale Watch! Passengers can join the expert guides from Planet Whale for an unforgettable experience whilst sailing through some of the richest waters in Europe for whales, dolphins and birds, on board the Brittany Ferries luxury flagship, Pont Aven.
The Plymouth to Santander route has developed a reputation for crossing some outstanding habitats for whales and dolphins. From the comparatively shallow English Channel to the 4000m deep Bay of Biscay and the gigantic submarine canyons off the northern Spanish coast, marine wildlife is abundant. A typical trip will allow passengers to see the Finn Whale – the second largest whale on earth, along with the Sperm Whale – made famous thorugh the story of Moby Dick. Watch the excitement as Pilot Whales and several species of Dolphins race the bow of the ship!
Presenting outstanding value for money, the cruise includes:
- Plymouth – Santander – Plymouth cruise
- 2 nights on board with the comfort of en-suite cabin accommodation including all port charges
- Expert whale watching and dolphin spotting advice
- Time ashore to explore the elegant port city of Santander
Itinerary of the cruise is as follows:
- Depart from Plymouth on Sunday 28th September at 16:00
- Arrive in Santander at 12:30
- Depart from Santander to Monday 29 September at 16:00
- Arrive in Plymouth at 10:00
If the excitement gets too much, passengers can step back inside Pont Aven and enjoy the kind of service and facilities normally only found on cruise ships, including leisure bars, stylish shopping malls, a wide choice of dining and superbly appointed en-suite accommodation.
So, remember your passport and your binoculars and let Brittany Ferries and Planet Whale take care of the rest!
