Thanks buenchico I have checked those routes but what I wanted to know was it Atlantic Ocean Bay Biscay etc

[Buenchico]

Unless you go a very long way round (e.g. on a massively-expensive world cruise, taking several months, via India and China) it's impossible to get from Southampton to any part of the Caribbean without crossing the Atlantic Ocean (which will take several days in each direction).

Any route to the Canary Islands is going to pass along Spain's Atlantic Coast (which is why most cruises call into ports on the western side of Spain). Unless a cruise (unusually) includes ports in France or northern Spain (such as Bilbao or Santander) the ship won't have to go into the Bay of Biscay, per se, but it will follow a line along roughly where the Bay of Biscay meets the Atlantic Ocean.

Thanks buenchico most helpful

Perhaps you should buy an atlas.

Even if you Do want to go the long way round, you still have to enter the Atlantic Ocean via the Bay of Biscay.
