Brittany Ferries reopens cross channel route to passengers

Brittany Ferries is to reopen its Portsmouth to Le Havre route to passengers after being switched to freight-only due to the pandemic.

Tickets have gone on sale for departures from March 1, 2023.

Prices start at £109 for a car and two passengers each way.

Passengers will travel on the ferry Cotentin which has capacity for up to 114 passengers in cabins. 

Services on board include a self-service restaurant, bar and small shop. Up to 30 dogs can be accommodated on the route.

Sales and marketing director Paul Acheson said: “This is great news for travellers and for the city of Portsmouth. 

“Once again Portsmouth, our UK hub, will connect travellers with four destinations in Normandy and Brittany, as well as two in northern Spain.

“Le Havre is a fantastic destination in itself. It’s a Unesco World Heritage Site renowned for the towering St Joseph’s Church, famous gardens and a fantastic beach, which is one of its best kept secrets. 

“But it is also gateway to the Seine Maritime region and the many treasures this area holds, such as the famous arch of Etretat.”

The ship will also carry passengers on the Le Havre to Rosslare route.
