Brittany Ferries – Guernsey

Brittany Ferries was conceived in 1972, starting life as a freight-only ferry service on 2nd January the following year.

The first vessel (Kerisnel) linked Roscoff in Brittany with Plymouth on the south west of England and carried a cargo of cauliflowers and cognac. Since then the company has progressively launched, then strengthened its shipping routes. In more than 52 years of service, millions of passengers and businesses have travelled by sea across the so-called Atlantic Arc (France, UK, Spain and Ireland). They rely on the links forged by more than five decades of experience.

In addition to cutting congestion and emissions on busy roads, Brittany Ferries’ motorways-of the sea have helped enrich local communities, creating jobs, nurturing international tourism and boosting cross-border trade. Five new vessels will have joined the fleet between 2019 and 2025. Two LNG-hybrids (Saint-Malo in February 2025 and Guillaume de Normandie in April 2025) complete the largest fleet renewal programme in the company’s history.
