YouTube Video Description↓

If you are heading out from Southampton, unless you are going North, the chances are you are going to be heading across the infamous Bay Of Biscay, an area of the North East Atlantic that strikes fear into even the most experienced cruisers. But is that fear justified? And what about the ports of Northern Spain, how do they compare to the Mediterranean side for the weather and activities? This guide is put together to help you understand and dispell the myths from the facts around cruising across the Bay of Biscay and around Northern Spain, France & Portugal, and help you decide whether this is something you should consider for a future cruise vacation.
