Portsmouth to Santander - NEW ROUTE!
 

You guys probably know, but Brittany Ferries are starting a new route from Portsmouth to Santander in March 2009. Great news for anyone living in the South East of our fair isle. The crossing will take 24 hours, rather than the 36 hour 'cruise' that P & O offer. Timetables and prices should be available for March this week, with the rest of the year available a couple of weeks later. If Brittany Ferries prices from Plymouth to Santander are anything to go by, the new crossing should be a great saving over P & O. Not sure if you have to book accomodation though, as thats what bumps the price up (personally I find after a few beers the cheaper reclining seat option works fine!) At least it saves the long slog through France if you have a time limit to get to Morocco etc. Hope this is of interest. See you in the sand!

Thanks for the heads up

Do you happen to know whether they will allow dogs on that route. Pand O didn't

cheers

Thats good to hear,I'm planning on 3 weeks holiday to Morocco last 2 weeks in March and 1st week in April.

That is good news.
The run to Plymouth meant having to put an extra day into the itinerary.
Santader is great for the Picos on the first day or two
Thanks for the info
