Great news! Brittany Ferries’ ‘Barfleur’ returns to the Cherbourg route from 19 March. What better excuse for a quick and easy spring break, whether it’s a day trip or a short hotel stay?

Sailings from Poole are daily at 8.30 in the morning, so there’s no early start to worry about. The journey takes just over four hours, making it one of the fastest channel crossings offered by Brittany Ferries. The return crossing leaves Cherbourg at 18.45, so you’re back at a reasonable time in the evening too.

Getting there is all part of the experience with Brittany Ferries. You’ll feel relaxed the moment you step on-board thanks to our award-winning service, whether you choose to have a bite to eat in the restaurant, do some shopping or simply sit back and enjoy the journey.

Before you know it, you’ll be discovering the delightful Port of Cherbourg with a great value, same day return. So why not enjoy a shopping trip with a difference, including a trip to the recently-opened futuristic ‘Eleis’ shopping centre only a short distance from the port?

Take a ‘cruise and stay’ break and you can really soak up the cuisine, fine wine, culture and history of the city at your own pace. This short hotel break includes a return crossing and one night’s bed and breakfast at one of Brittany Ferries’ hand-picked hotels.

From museums to markets, shops to charcuteries, there really is so much to do in Cherbourg. And with the Barfleur cruise service from Poole putting France on your doorstep, it’s never been easier to make a quick getaway. So why not plan a spring break for yourself?
