Ferries to Jersey

The British Crown dependency of Jersey is the largest Channel Island, situated just fourteen miles from France, in the Bay of Mont St Michel.

Divided into twelve parishes and measuring nine by five miles, Jersey packs plenty of fun into a limited space. Also, thanks to the moderating effects from the Atlantic, it’s one of the warmest locations in the British Isles, attracting beach lovers and keen historians all year round.

With a strategic location between England and France, Jersey has a long recorded past, stretching over a thousand years, enduring several invasions. However, the turbulent history has culminated in a rich, multi-layered culture with numerous historic monuments. Part of the Duchy of Normandy and Anglo-Norman realm in the middle ages, Jersey possesses a strong French influence today, mostly evident in the place and road names.

Arguably the most significant event to shape modern day Jersey was World War II, when the Nazis invaded and formed a slave labour camp. The island’s most iconic attraction was a direct result of the five year occupation: the Jersey War Tunnels. Running over a kilometre long within a hillside, they now hold a collection of galleries and artefacts describing the horrors of the Nazi regime, offering a truly thought-provoking experience.

Perfect for families, the Durrell Wildlife Park was the first ever conservation-themed zoo, established in 1959, home to many types of rare animals including gorillas, flamingos and maned wolves, all within a beautiful thirty-two acre park. Guarding the island from Norman invasions six hundred years ago, Mont Orgueil Castle, today, commands an imposing position overlooking the east coast, hiding a fascinating torture chamber, many secret rooms and tall turrets inside its walls. Finally, thrill-seekers can get stuck into some wind-karting, zip-wiring and paddle boarding, while the stunning, sandy beaches are best for simply relaxing in the sun.

The capital, Saint Helier, is the point of arrival for ferries to Jersey. Unsurprisingly, given the island’s position between the two, there are regular ferry routes from southern England and northern France, run by a couple of top ferry operators. You can also hop over from the other Channel Islands Guernsey and Sark.

    It was a lowly crossing in a very comfortable boat. Only complaint is they one has to be there half an hour before and NOT an hour before as stated on paperwork.
