LD Lines launches UK-Spain service
LD Lines has announced the introduction of a new UK to Spain service between Poole and Santander in Northern Spain.
Complementing LD Lines’ existing France to Spain route between Saint Nazaire, south of Brittany and Gijón in Northern Spain, the service represents a major development to the company’s creation of an Atlantic ferry network, providing new links to serve the UK, French, Spanish and Portuguese freight and tourist markets and making regions such as the Algarve within easier reach for UK motorists.
The service is scheduled to start on Sunday, November 3, with a 6pm departure from Santander, with capacity for 500 passengers and 200 cars.
The new service will operate twice weekly between Poole and Santander with a crossing time of 26 hours.
Introductory fares start at £399 return two passengers in a cabin, and a car.
