Brittany Ferries have taken over P&O's old route from Portsmouth to Bilbao launching commencing on March 27Th. The twice weekly service will be in addition to their existing ferry services to Santander from Portsmouth and Plymouth.it's a shame that the old boat,Pride of Bilbao has been retired, don't know if any of you have sail on her?? but it was like a little Minny cruise, we have traveled on her twice, it was a real pleasure.
