England comprises the central and southern parts of Great Britain which lies in the North Atlantic, separate from continental Europe.
The country is the largest of the four so-called ‘home nations’ that make up the United Kingdom and also includes over 100 smaller islands including the Isle of Wight and the Isles of Scilly.
England’s capital city, London, is a vast and diverse metropolitan centre and a global capital of finance, culture and fashion.
Travel by ferry is popular and convenient mode of transport amongst the British public and as an island with a wealth of first class ferry ports, England is a great departure point by ferry for many destinations, both domestic and international. Many of the worlds’ leading ferry companies are household names and operate numerous crossings serving the population of Great Britain.
Guernsey is a British Crown dependency within the Channel Islands, sitting just off the coast of Normandy, France, in the English Channel.
With its coastline defined by twenty seven different bays, ranging from secluded coves to long stretches of sand, coupled with one of the UK’s sunniest climates, Guernsey often feels like a Mediterranean island gem. The capital, St Peter Port is regarded as one of Europe’s prettiest harbour towns, home to the island’s top two attractions: the eight-hundred year old Castle Cornet and Hauteville House, where famous French writer Victor Hugo was exiled in the nineteenth century.
Guernsey remains popular amongst both French and English holidaymakers, so there are plenty of ferry routes from both countries to St Peter Port. There are also frequent crossings from the surrounding Channel Islands, with some lasting under an hour.
