Routes

As the leading maritime company on the Western and Central Channel, Brittany Ferries operates a modern fleet, regularly renewed and upgraded in pursuit of excellence and in strict compliance with safety standards. Whether cruise ferries or fast ferries, the daily crossings provided by the Company form an active network of commercial, cultural, and tourist exchanges along the Atlantic Arc.

The Company has become a major maritime player in the development of Western European regions it serves and offers, for freight activity, a genuine alternative to “all-road” transport. By establishing long-term “sea highways” between the four countries directly served, Brittany Ferries plays a key role in modal shift. In recent years, Brittany Ferries has developed daily freight routes between Great Britain and Spain, strengthening its network of sea highways serving the Atlantic Arc.

2025 marks the opening of a new multimodal highway between Cherbourg and Mouguerre (Pyrénées-Atlantiques), linking Spain to the British Isles. This initiative represents a major milestone for the future of freight in France and Europe, promoting modal shift to rail and sea.
