Brittany Ferries offers the best choice of routes cross the Western Channel. Sailing from Portsmouth, Poole and Plymouth direct to Normandy, Brittany and Northern Spain, they take you closer to holiday France and Spain. Our fleet of cruise ferries will be joined in late 2002 by  Mont St Michel, purpose built for the Portsmouth to Caen route at a cost of £80 million. For those preferring a little extra speed, Brittany Ferries also offer a summer only (May-September) fastcraft service which will whisk you from Poole to Cherbourg in just 135 minutes, the fastest way to France on the western channel.

If you live in Western Britain or you're travelling to Western France you should consider their routes. Daytime crossings are often no more expensive than the Eastern Channel routes, although you generally pay extra for night time crossings. Our advice is to plan your crossing based on convenience rather than cost. Where you're coming from and going to and how much you enjoy driving should be the deciding factors in how you cross the channel. Check in no later than 45 minutes before sailing.

All ferry and tunnel tickets are sold when booked with accommodation selected from this website. Check through the section on Holiday and Special Packages, the section Cottages, Villas and Apartment Rentals, or mobile homeas and campsites where you will find a guide to the ferry and accommodation price. Depending on the route chosen and time of travelling supplements may apply. All property rental is booked direct with the owner.
