Luxury travel
Setting the standard for quality coach travel
Travelling in comfort should be part of the pleasure of any holiday. That is why we have taken such care to make sure that we have the best type of coaches on the road today.
We actually own and operate the vehicles we use - unlike many other holiday companies.
This enables us to guarantee high standards of comfort and reliability, which are an essential ingredient for an enjoyable summer holiday.
Our Club courier will greet you on arrival at our new coach interchange and show you to your resort coach where you will meet your drivers and fellow passengers as you settle into your individually reserved seats.
Your holiday starts in the morning from your local departure point. By early afternoon (approx. 2pm) we arrive at Dover for the short Channel crossing to Calais. Later, after the evening meal stop, settle down, watch the film and relax during the smooth comfortable journey. Your drivers will make short 'stretch stops' every three or four hours.
In the morning, there's a breakfast stop and time to freshen up before arriving at your resort.
 
 

 
Travelling to Spain
After crossing France by motorway we enter Spain through the magnificent foothills of the Pyrenees. Then enjoy the interesting countryside drive into your holiday resort. For the homeward journey your coach departs mid-afternoon.
 
 

 
Travelling to France
Crossing France by motorway we stop for breakfast and enjoy the Mediterranean coastal scenery before arriving early morning. For the homeward journey your coach departs early evening.
The on-board service may be 'drinks only' on the shorter French routes.
 
 

 
Travelling to Italy
We cross Belgium, France and scenic Switzerland to enter Italy at Chiasso/Lake Como. After a breakfast stop we arrive at the Adriatic coast before lunchtime. For the homeward journey your coach departs early afternoon.
 
 

 
 

 
 
Channel crossing
Relax and enjoy the scenery on the channel crossing with P&O.
The ships have excellent value shops, bars and restaurants, also comfortable lounges and children's area.
All return journeys are scheduled to cross the channel early morning for you to enjoy a breakfast stop on-board.

KIDS EAT FREE! P&O Ferries - Dover/Calais
A child under 12 can eat FREE when an adult buys a two-course (minimum) meal in the ship's
International Food Court.
 
 

 
Joining the coach
If you do not live close to any our regional departure points, do not worry there are several ways that you can meet our coach using public transport.
Take the GNER service from the North East to Stevenage which is just a short taxi journey from our South Mimms interchange point.
From Scotland and the North West take the Virgin west coast main line service to Watford Junction which is just five minutes by taxi to our Coach Depot.
We can also provide National Express tickets to connect with our London Victoria departure, from only £9.50 return.

Please go directly to the resort of your choice for information on coach departure days and durations to your preferred destination.

 
 

 
FREE Local departures nationwide
Wherever you live there is a Club Cantabrica Coach waiting to whisk you away for your holiday and to return you home afterwards.
Departure points and times are carefully selected to give you a convenient and efficient service.
After boarding at your local departure point we head towards our outer London coach interchange where you will have the opportunity for refreshments and join our other clients and your hostess
