Thinking about how to get from France to England for your next trip or cruise? We found an incredible alternative to flying — the Saint-Malo, Brittany Ferries’ newest ferry — and it completely changed the way we think about travel in Europe.
In this video, we share our full experience sailing from St. Malo, France to Portsmouth, England, including what it costs, what it’s like onboard, and why we’d absolutely do it again. From our spacious cabin with CClub access, to onboard dining, entertainment, trivia, and even a spa (yes, a spa on a ferry!), this was far more than just transportation — it was a mini cruise!
If you’re planning a trip through Europe, or just curious how this ferry compares to flying or renting a car — this video will show you why this could be your new favorite way to travel.
