With elegant surroundings, stylish bars and lounges and superb restaurants, not to mention award-winning service and excellent on-board facilities – you can just sit back, unwind and enjoy the experience.

THE OFFER

We are offering Bucks Free Press readers a voucher which entitles you and three friends to make the most of this Cruise and Dine experience with a trip to St Malo on the coast of Brittany. All you have to pay after your initial £5 is port charges.

Departing from Portsmouth, you will have use of a comfortable berth and plenty of time to explore the ship’s superb facilities; relax in one of the elegant lounges, enjoy cocktails in the bar, see the latest film release in the ship’s cinema or just sit back and watch the scenery.

Then there’s the chance to visit the stunning old walled city of St Malo, one of the most visited places in Brittany with its superb old citadelle. From outside the walls, the dignified ensemble of the old city might seem stern and forbidding, but passing through into the streets within brings you into a busy, lively and very colourful town, filled with character and packed with hotels, restaurants, bars and shops.

Enjoy a stroll atop the ramparts taking in the presence of vast, clean beaches right on the city’s doorstep, an added bonus if you’re travelling with kids in tow.

Then, after visiting St Malo, it’s back to the ship where you will be invited to take your seat in the main restaurant for your superb complimentary meal.

There’s on board shopping and lots to talk about as the ship cruises home to Portsmouth. And as an added bonus we’ll throw in a Le Break voucher entitling you and three guests to a return ferry crossing with the chance to spend up to 72 hours in France.

Take a French shopping trip for the day or stay in France for up to three days. The choice is yours.

Choose any cross-Channel route from Portsmouth, Plymouth or Poole to Roscoff, Cherbourg, Caen or St Malo.

All you have to pay is port charges per person.
