Brittany Ferries 2024 Booking

Have you got emails ticked in marketing preferences on your account?

Although I have not received the one about French bookings yet,  just the one about Spanish.

If you take a look at BF’s main website, front page, there’s an option to join a mailing list for receiving the latest news / updates on sailings.

Alternatively, the main BF facebook fan groups often have rumours from people “in the know” with the latest updates 🤔. They are sometimes correct…🙂. 

Just booked our return ferry for November St Malo overnight to Portsmouth paid less than when we went out in April so very happy with that, full flexi ticket as well so good price.

As others have stated it is a personal choice. I live in Scotland so I either drive to Portsmouth and take BF to Spain, or drive to Newcastle and take the ferry to Amsterdam and drive through France. Again, like others although driving is slightly cheaper the hassle factor makes the BF ferry a better choice for us. We keep our caravan in Spain in storage so will only be using a car for travel. We will be in Spain for 6 weeks. Yes, we pay hotels as it is a long way from Bilbao to Cartagena, and I am getting too old, but again it is balanced against paying more on the ferry. My most personal choice is to fly Ryanaire to Murcia and get a hire car but this year the hire car companies have decided to charge rip off prices. Plus my dear wife (and me) have wanted to take a few larger items with us for the caravan. Ryanaire are not too keen on accepting ladders etc. I think the thing that influences us most is not the trip down, it is the one back when you just want to get home. My days of long hauls on manic French Autoroutes are past. The Spanish motorways are usually empty.

I've just looked at the recently live French crossings for summer 2024. With the "Friends & Family" price reduction they do look attractive at £215 back from France in early July with car & caravan on the Roscoff to Plymouth crossing. About £50 cheaper than with the Club.
