Brittany Ferries

Our cruise and high speed ferry services sail from Portsmouth, Poole or Plymouth direct to Brittany, Normandy and Northern Spain.

Brittany Ferries offer a service which is centred on their luxury cruise ferries, which means your holiday starts the minute you step on board the ship.

The entertainment is varied and the food is French cuisine which of course has a great reputation.

You can also shop in the many boutiques, or relax in your accommodation, which they have tried to make as comfortable and luxurious as they can.

Armorique
One of our nine ferries to France, Armorique was specifically designed and built for Brittany Ferries, and in particular our Plymouth-Roscoff route, Armorique was introduced to the fleet in 2009.

Each of their destinations on the continent possesses its own character and is normally full of life with great places to shop, drink and eat.In the past, the on-board shops often included a photography shop with film developing and printing facilities however, the increase in popularity of digital photography has led to these shops being removed.

In late 2009 Brittany Ferries have installed a paid wifi service across its fleet of traditional ferries.

Carrying up to 1,500 passengers and 470 cars, the ship follows a modern design with decor that beautifully captures the lights, colours and space of the Brittany region and its maritime heritage. Also featured are a number of artists and their work celebrating Breton culture, its traditions, spirit and innovation.

Brittany Ferries offer a wide selection of ferry routes across the channel to France as well as a ferry service between France and Ireland. When you sail with Brittany Ferries your destination port is more than just a port.

Sailing to Plymouth and Roscoff

Armorique offers passengers a choice of 247 cabins - all of which are en-suite and air conditioned - plus a number of reserved lounge seats spread out through the ship. There are also a number of cabins adapted for disabled passengers.

All vessels have their own bureau de change, except for the Cap Finistère and the Armorique which, alternately, provide an ATM that dispenses Euros. Most vessels have a cinema and gambling/gaming machines.

Bretagne

Operating on our Portsmouth to St Malo route, Bretagne has first-rate onboard facilities, including excellent dining, shopping and live entertainment, and can accommodate over 2000 passengers, almost half of them in cabin accommodation.
Brittany Ferries vessels have a variety of onboard facilities. These include shops, self-service and A la carte restaurants, bars and cafes.

Sailing to Portsmouth and St Malo

Cap Finistère

This, the latest addition to our fleet, feels like a "boutique hotel". It has an intimate, less formal ambience than Pont-Aven, whilst retaining a sense of space and comfort.

Cap Finistère provides an extremely comfortable way to cruise to Spain. Onboard there are relaxed dining areas, outdoor decks and cafés, degustation sessions with our own experts, even make-over's and massage sessions.

All with the usual superlative Brittany Ferries service.

Cap Finistère sails twice a week from Portsmouth to Bilbao and once weekly from Portsmouth to Santander.
After two years of service and proving extremely popular with her short crossing times, Brittany Ferries announced the purchase of the vessel on 15th January 2007.

Sailing to Portsmouth and Caen

Mont St Michel
Named after the beautiful Normandy town of Mont St Michel, the ship offers passengers a host of other features including spacious cabins, a choice of restaurants, and facilities including bars, cinemas, a disco club and video gaming area designed specifically for teenagers.

Carrying up to 2,200 passengers and with over two kilometres of vehicle space, the ship also features a range of state-of-the-art navigation and safety management systems making it not only one of the most comfortable channel cruise ferries afloat, but also one of the best equipped.

Normandie

Following the success of the Bretagne, Brittany Ferries commissioned the Normandie in 1991 for the route between Portsmouth and Caen.

Named after the French region of the same name, it is decorated in traditional Norman style and colours, and features first-rate on-board facilities, including excellent dining, shopping and live entertainment.
