Frequently asked questions

Can I travel out via one route and back via another?

Yes, as long as the operating company is the same. e.g you may wish to travel from Portsmouth-St.Malo on the conventional ferry outward bound and return from Cherbourg to Poole on the fast craft. Brittany Ferries operate both routes, so this is no problem.

Can I mix ferry crossings operated by different companies?

Generally speaking no, but Condor Ferries have an agreement with Brittany Ferries, whereby you can travel outward bound with one of the operators, and inward bound with the other. You can also mix any Condor crossing with a short channel crossing with SeaFrance.
