Ferry Travel Information
A popular choice for those not wishing to travel to the east of England to cross the channel, Brittany Ferries offers sailings from Portsmouth to Caen / Cherbourg / St Malo, from Poole to Cherbourg and from Plymouth to Roscoff.
Clients can choose from day or overnight cruise sailings or high speed ferries. The overnight sailings are very popular with clients wanting to relax before the journey to the Alps. (Please note it is compulsory for all passengers on an overnight crossing to have accommodation booked). The maximum number of passengers is 5 and extra passengers will be subject to additional supplements. There are also supplements for vehicles over 1.83m and 2.6m high and over 5m long.
Please contact us for further information, crossing prices and overnight accommodation prices.

Please note: Cars or other vehicles over 1.83m in total height or cars towing a trailer / caravan will need to have high space reserved. Please ensure you get your high space request in early as high space does get booked up very quickly, especially during the school holidays. Please note: Brittany Ferries' pregnancy policy states that they are unable to transport anyone over 32 weeks (28 weeks for the high speed service) pregnant at the time of travel, or those with pregnancy complications. |
