FAQ’s

Access & Parking

Most of our cross-Channel sailings are from Plymouth and a few are from Portsmouth. We rarely travel to the East of England because of heavy traffic and consequent delays.

Access to Plymouth and Portsmouth by road and rail is straightforward  and quite uncomplicated and services by public transport are frequent.

At both Ferryports there is plenty of parking with choices at Plymouth in particular. Full details will be sent on request to anyone making a booking.

Disabled passengers travelling with Brittany Ferries.

To make the most of your travel with Brittany Ferries please tell us how we can help you.
Brittany Ferries very much hopes that all passengers enjoy a totally relaxing journey on board their ships and this is particularly so for a passenger with a disability or reduced mobility. With this in mind they need you to tell us the level of assistance you will require for your travel when you make your booking.
Before choosing to travel by sea you should be aware that there maybe one or two limitations in the service and facilities that we can provide. The design and construction of a ship can make it difficult for some disabled passengers to negotiate and you may find it helpful to travel with an able bodied companion to assist you during the voyage. To comply with safety regulations Brittany Ferries may have to limit the number of passengers needing individual assistance on each crossing.

Please let us know your exact requirements at the time of booking by calling us on 0777  333 9983 and again when you arrive at ticket check-in at the ferry port. If you ask for additional assistance there may be a delay in boarding – your embarkation and disembarkation will take place at the most appropriate time to allow maximum space and assistance on the ferry.

You will need a visa to enter Europe. This scheme is known as the EES plan and was introduced in October 2025. When full details are released concerning its operation we will advise.

We will need to know your full name(as it appears in your passport i.e. no Jimmies, Jacks, Sue, Bettys etc unless that is what is shown); date of birth and nationality in order to pass this on to the Border authorities in each country. We regret this intrusion but we have no choice in the matter.
