We are off to Brittany next year on a Dover to Calais crossing, but we are looking at possibly going plymouth to roscoff, when does the 2006 timetable come out and is it an expensive crossing.
Thanks
Dunno about prices, but anytime we have went to Brittany (Vannes) we have usually went via Portsmouth to St Malo (the price was always included in the package!) Suppose it depends on how far you are driving....as we are coming all the way from Central Scotland, it's just good to get down to Portsmouth and know you can rest on the ferry overnight........not that i end up doing that, the entertainment on board is quite good!!!
Have you tried these??
http://www.bandbnormandy.co.uk very helpful and excellent breakfasts.
I travel to Franch every month. Have done so for last 10 years. Brittany Ferries were a good bet about 5 years ago but and this is a big BUT in the last month their prices have doubled. This is because P and O have pulled out of the long crossing so Brittany Ferries now have a monopoly. For the last year I have been doing the short crossing from Dover. Speedferries are the cheapest and I find they are now the best value. You may have a very long drive the other side but travelling along the A16, A29 etc is very good and empty most of the time. The toll road and extra petrol still makes it cheaper. Fill up at Le Clerc just outside the ferry port on the road to the A16 and that will get you to Brittany. If you want a stop off on the way for an overnight break try For prices check http://www.brittany-ferries.co.uk you should be able to get a 2006 quote from there.
If you do go via Roscoff, dont miss out Brest because its fab for shopping and the city is unmissable with its unique fountains. Also dont miss Mont St Michel and all the Normandy history as its fab!!!!!
ENJOY where ever you choose!!
We have Property Owners membership and just had the 2006 sailing schedules sent by Brittany Ferries. Might also be on their website by now.
PM me if you want specific dates. Prices depends on number of passengers and what kind of vehicles, cabin etc. I would recommend cabin for overnight sailings (especially if you are going to drive further south) as recliners are not very comfortable and as someone said, it is very cold in that lounge.

Take a sea sickness tablet & a cabin. You'll be fresh for the next day then. Sea sickness is a nasty experience....better safe then sorry.
