"Lovely boat, reasonably priced food and drink."
Enjoyed our crossing in both directions. Going out to France was totally without incident, but on the return journey there was a delay due to windy weather and another delay due to Customs control.

I’ve been on Brittany ferries before I have again this trip over to France and I will be in the future, the ship is clean and the crew really helpful. If the boat is late as it was to night it’s because there’s a lot of vehicles to stow and they take care and pride in doing it right! We were kept informed of any delays and the food was worth the wait! Excellent.

Great crossing both ways. Really well laid out ships with plenty of seating for all. Just such a shame it took an hour to get through customs on the French side going out, only 2 or 3 lanes open!! Coming back Portsmouth/UK customs excellent organisation with several lanes open.
