Ferries from Portsmouth

Unless your destination is North-East or Eastern France then a cross channel ferry from Portsmouth is an excellent option. Portsmouth is the UKs second busiest ferry port, being more central and often more convenient than Poole or Plymouth. Although ferry crossings from Portsmouth are longer than those from Dover this is often more than compensated for by shorter driving times and distances once in France. A good selection of destinations and ferry operators help to keep ferry prices competitive and you can choose from either daytime or nighttime ferries. If choosing an overnight ferry it's recommended to book a cabin to make the most of your time aboard and get some good rest before starting your holiday in France!

Ferries to St Malo

Located at the mouth of the Rance estuary on the North East coast of Brittany, Saint Malo is a useful gateway for holiday makers looking for shorter direct ferry to Brittany than that offered by the longer ferry journey to Roscoff.

Unlike some other ferry ports Saint Malo is a holiday destination in itself. Although historically associated with pirates, Saint Malo can trace its origins back to a monastic settlement founded early in the 6th century. These days you're not likely to see many pilgrims though - todays tourists come to explore the historic fortified town or visit Saint Malos famous aquarium.
