Brittany Ferries announces 2026 schedule: New France-UK route

Ferry operator Brittany Ferries has released its sailing schedule for the upcoming year, including a new service between France and the United Kingdom. Tickets are now available to purchase on journeys until November 3, 2026.

Several current routes have also been upgraded to run more frequently. 

A new route between Plymouth and Saint-Malo will operate in December 2025 and again from February to March 2026. 

Upgraded services include the Poole and Cherbourg route, which will now run between November and March.

The Rosslare (Republic of Ireland) to Cherbourg overnight ferry will become a daily service (it currently runs five times per week).

However, the Portsmouth-Le Havre route – previously running year-round – will no longer sail during the winter, stopping between October and March 30, 2026. 

Up to 20 trips per week from the Channel Island of Guernsey are also included in the schedule via affiliate Condor Ferries to Saint-Malo, Poole, and Portsmouth. 

“We’re excited to launch our 2026 sailings, giving customers the chance to plan ahead for the next 12 months,” Brittany Ferries CEO Christophe Mathieu said.

“Booking early means the best choice of sailings and accommodation – especially popular options like pet-friendly and superior cabins – and lets returning travellers secure their 2026 trip on their return home,” he added. 

Tickets can be purchased on the official Brittany Ferries website for all trips (except the Rosslare-Cherbourg route), including those to Guernsey via Condor Ferries
