I’ve done a few trips with Brittany Ferries from the UK to Spain, so I can definitely share a bit. They usually have several routes, including from Portsmouth and Plymouth to Santander or Bilbao. Personally, I found the Portsmouth to Santander route to be a good balance between travel time and comfort. The onboard experience is pretty pleasant—Brittany Ferries has solid dining options with both sit-down restaurants and quick-service choices. If you’re traveling overnight, I highly recommend getting a cabin; it’s worth it for the rest!
If you’re interested in getting an in-depth look at each route and the amenities, https://ferrytospain.co.uk/ is a good resource. They break down the routes, travel times, and onboard facilities, which really helps in deciding which route best fits your needs. It’s a handy guide for first-timers or anyone who wants a smoother travel experience!
