Brittany Ferries has today (April 1st) reinstated its fast cross channel ferry services from Portsmouth.
The operator will provide daily return ferries from Portsmouth to Cherbourg between Monday and Thursday, with crossings from Portsmouth to Caen on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Normandie Express, the largest fast ferry sailing in the English Channel, will operate the services from Portsmouth at 08:00 BST each day.
With a journey time of around 180 minutes, the crossings will get travellers to France in time to enjoy lunch and provide the option of a daytrip in the popular holiday destinations of Brittany and Normandy.
Brittany Ferries' other cross channel ferry services include routes from Plymouth to Roscoff and from Portsmouth to St Malo.
The company also operates ferries to Santander in northern Spain from Plymouth and Portsmouth, providing a travel option for people planning a summer visit to the Iberian peninsula.
