Travelling With Brittany Ferries a review

As someone who loves exploring Europe, I’m well versed in the travel options between the UK and France. Recently, we travelled with Brittany Ferries, in their commodore club cabin, on their Galicia ship, and I wanted to share my experience with you. If you’re considering a ferry trip, especially if you’re looking to travel with your car or pet, Brittany Ferries is definitely worth considering. Here’s why:

Booking and Boarding:

The booking process with Brittany Ferries was a breeze. I found their website easy to navigate, with clear options for routes, cabins, and any extras I might want to add. We opted for the commodore club cabin which was an incredible upgrade compared to our usual, basic, inside cabins.
Arriving at the port, I was impressed by how organised everything was. We made sure to get there early, which I would recommend to anyone, as it made the boarding process smooth and hassle-free. The staff were friendly and helpful, guiding us through the check-in and onto the ferry with ease. It was a great start to the journey!

We were given a hanger for our windscreen with coloured stickers which were used by the port staff to navigate us into the right queues.
The Commodore Cabin and Amenities On Board
Once on board, we headed straight to the cabin, which was cosy, clean, and had a fantastic view of the sea. It was a great spot to relax and unwind after the boarding process. The cabin was spacious enough for a comfortable journey, and had everything we needed for a good night’s sleep. We were fortunate to have a TV, kettle and a cot set up in our-room for us when we arrived, which was fab as our late crossing meant baby needed to sleep.

We didn’t get much time to explore the ferry, but I had a quick browse while Mike was getting the baby to sleep.
I was happy to see a variety of amenities designed to make the trip enjoyable. From lounges with comfortable seating to entertainment areas for children, there was something for everyone. I especially liked the onboard shops, which offered a good range of duty-free items.
Dining Options

We have only ever eaten breakfasts on the ferry so I can’t overly comment on the other dining options. However, our breakfasts have always been great! We were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food on board and there was a good selection of breakfast options. With the commodore cabin, we actually had breakfast included in our room so, this time, we didn’t even use the restaurant!


Traveling With a Vehicle
Travelling with our vehicle is the main reason we travel via Brittany ferries, being able to bring my car was a big plus. The process of loading and unloading the vehicle was straightforward, and I appreciated the staff’s efficiency and guidance. It was incredibly convenient to drive straight off the ferry and start our adventure without any delays. Well, I say without delays, but the passport check when you arrive in France can sometimes take a while.
Pet-Friendly Facilities
For those traveling with pets, Brittany Ferries is a fantastic option. I saw several fellow passengers with their furry friends, and the ferry offers pet-friendly cabins as well as onboard kennels. Although I wasn’t traveling with a pet this time, it was reassuring to see how well catered for they were.
Other Helpful Brittany ferries Hints and Tips:

Usb plugs, British Plugs and European plugs are available for use throughout the Mont Saint Michel car ferry.
Definitely get a cabin if you have young children that need to nap/sleep. I can’t imagine not having one now we have a baby.
Learn how to turn your cars alarm off. When boarding you are advised to switch off the engine, park in first gear, lock car and turn off the alarm.
