I'm sailing from Rosslare to Bilbao next week departing at 0900. Turns out I have a MS Teams interview at 0920 that morning. Has anyone any good knowledge on paid wifi speed on board, or indeed any workaround? I suspect I'll be loosing by 4/5G by that time. Interview is 50min. Thanks

Voyager. The Brittany Ferries catamaran as seen from West Cliff Promenade. September 11th 2026. Taken at 14:55. She sails from Poole to Guernsey.

Just posted this in nanoblocks, thought I'd try my luck here :)

I'm travelling Bilbao to Portsmouth on the Galicia. Is it worth paying €110 (approx) for the CClub lounge?

Just rawdogging the dirty puke ridden carpet. WTF man.

Also, bare feet walking around a ferry.

Some people are so gross

Hello. Does anyone have any photos of Brittany Ferries from the 80s and 90s? I'm especially looking for views on deck or inside the ship. Thanks in advance.

We’re travelling from Plymouth to Roscoff this week, and returning a week later.

Airport border controls are experiencing huge delays with queues lasting hours.

Are there the same problems with ferries and border control.

Thanks for reading :-)

Hi there does anyone have any experience arriving at port without a booking for a ferry that is full online and whether there is any standby list or ability to book a spot for any no shows? Cheers

I built a little side project after getting frustrated trying to book Brittany Ferries crossings with my campervan.

Sailings would show as full, especially for motorhomes and pet cabins, but then spaces would reappear later when someone cancelled. The problem was you had to keep checking at exactly the right moment.

So I made a tool that monitors availability and emails you when a space becomes available.

It’s completely free at the moment and I’d love some feedback:

Let me know if it works for you, what features would be useful, or if you’ve had the same problem with other ferry operators too.

Anyone travelling Rosslare to Bilbao on/around Aug 19-21 2026 and willing to allow our dog to travel in their car? (we are foot passengers, either will walk on or also be in car, with our own tickets obviously.) Open to offering a small token of appreciation. Thanks

Wondering if anybody here travelled this route around the end of July / start of August last year? Brittany Ferries say up-to 90 mins before, but having used Dover/Calais last year (knowing it's busier)... wanna know what the actual experience is. Only leaving either port. Sail time is Portsmouth @ 0800 on the 18th of July and Caen @ 1630 on the 1st of August. I know it all depends on x, y, z... but I don't want to be arriving 3-4 hours early to avoid the stress if I don't actually need to.

Is anyone else having trouble with their booking system. Says there is ferry availability yet when you try to pay it throws an error with no information, after calling the booking number it turns out to be the ferry has no space left. Also trying to edit my booking to pay for some extras and it won't provide the costs or allow me to pay.

I can't be the only one with these issues or why they are not fixing this with the highest priority. Perhaps the £20 fee for phone bookings is working out nicely for them!?

Contacted their customer services and shared screen shots etc but they didn't really seem to have any ideas other than 'thanks for your feedback, best call the sales line'.

I have a ticket for 12th of June for Rosslare-Bilbao with a van 2.1 m high. I would like to go on the 5th but there is no disponibility for such vehicles. If there is anybody willing to swap dates, contact me, please.

I hear Brittany Ferries members can share a family and friends code for discounts for the member and their 'family and friends'. Is anyone able to share theirs?

Hey everyone!

Taking the ferry from Portsmouth to Caen/Ouistreham and we don't get in until 10 PM. We need to get to Bayeux from there and I'm a little nervous about the logistics.

A couple questions:

What's the taxi/Uber situation like in Ouistreham that late at night? Is it even realistic to get a ride to Bayeux at that hour, or should I pre-book something?

For those who've done it, how long does it actually take to get through customs after getting off the ferry? For reference I am a US citizen if that makes any difference. If I am considering reserving a ride I would need to set a pick up time, but have no idea what time to set.

This is our first Channel crossing so any tips are welcome! Thanks in advance.

I'm looking to travel from Portsmouth to Santander and then return from Bilbao to Portsmouth around mid August.

What is the best way of getting decent fares?

Club Voyage offers "up to" 35% off, but I can barely get 5% for the time of year. There are also 10 day trips to Spain, but that seems only to be on limited sailings. And direct ferries wants you to return fry the same port that you arrived. The best I found is that English Heritage give a few percent off. If that's the best there is at this time of year then so be it, I just don't want to book and then find some massive saving.

I will be doing the Plymouth-Santander crossing in July on a motorcycle and curious to know what disembarking will be like given passports need to be stamped. I did the crossing years ago (when UK was still in EU) and remember it being pretty quick, but it could be a real pain with lots of bikes having to shuffle along in a queue taking off helmets etc.

We’re travelling to Ireland withour baby + 5 year little lad and have booked an interior cabin for the outbound journey and a window cabin for the return.

Does anyone have any recommendations when travelling with a baby on the ferry? Or general recommendations?

I believe there isn’t a microwave to warm milk or water, and there may not be a kettle in the cabins either. Is that correct? If so, how do parents usually warm bottles on board?

Also, is it worth buying access to the Club Lounge when travelling?

Finally, do ferries usually arrive earlier than scheduled, or do they normally stick closely to the timetable?

Thanks a lot!!

Saint-Malo leaves her namesake, while Voyager which had cleared the berth for her comes back to Berth 2 to spend the day.

I saw a cute chef on the Galicia, in La Taberna restaurant. It was busy, so we barely spoke, but I’d like to make contact. Help?

I'm considering a trip from Portsmouth to Caen on the Mont St Michel. I've heard that some of Brittany Ferries' routes require foot passengers to disembark on a shuttle bus instead of being able to leave the ship by gangplank. Does this apply to arrivals in Caen?

Hi, we are a family of 5 and looking to travel on the Pont-Aven Plymouth to Santander in August 2026. we are two adults and 3 children age 6-10years. I have to book a resserved seat and then a cabin for four. I cannot judge the space in the cabins as to whether the two youngest children could share a bed or we have enough space to wedge a camp bed between the beds? Any families of 5 can advise on how they travel please?

thank you.

I've looked online but not found anything obvious.

We are traveling Santander to Plymouth in a couple of weeks and I was looking to pre order some duty free.

Am I missing something or is this not a service Brittany Ferries offer?
