Brittany Ferries to St Malo Top Tip

[Berin]

If you are sailing Portsmouth-St Malo on BF, here’s a top tip.

Don’t bother booking a Club cabin. These are outside 2 berth cabins but the only difference between a Club cabin and the considerably cheaper 4 berth outside cabin, is, err, the 4 berth has 4 bunks and the 2 berth has 2 bunks. Same size, same window. On our crossing the Club was about £50 more. I suppose the Club does have tea and coffee in the the room but not 50 quids worth.

Same on Portsmouth to Santander. Got a look in one when we docked and it was exactly the same as our 4 birth that we had.

Other bonus of the 4 birth if there’s 2 of you is you can grab the extra pillows from the top bunks and actually have some neck support when you sleep!

But you do get access to the club lounge - free drinks and snacks/food.

On an overnight sailing it would not be hard to get £50 worth of food and drink down your neck as my guess is the prices are pretty steep, a couple of drinks each and a few snacks and you have broken even.

Not on the St Malo crossing. I thought you did, which was why I booked it but not so.

In the club lounge you get wine, maybe bottled beer, no spirits.

But the lounge is an extra cost on the St Malo crossing, and not worth it in my opinion. The food is not a proper meal, really - maybe one hot dish and then a lacklustre buffet
