Onboard Facilities

Brittany Ferries operate one of the youngest fleet of ferries operating on the English channel, sailing between England, France, Spain and Ireland. Their ships can be described as cruise ferries offering facilities and standards of comfort expected of a cruise ship rather than a cross channel ferry. Facilities include shopping malls, cinemas, restaurants, bars, tourist offices and even a swimming pool. Facilities vary between ships, which our guide reflects.
