Brittany Ferries

- BY VICKY LISSAMAN

WHAT: Brittany Ferries’ new Hybrid-LNG ferry, Saint-Malo.

WHERE: Overnight sailing from Portsmouth to St Malo, France, and return daytime sailing. From £546 return for a car and family of four with an ensuite and four-berth cabin. brittany-ferries.co.uk.

EXPERIENCE: The excitement begins on any car ferry trip with the “drive on”. Which queue will go first? Will you have to navigate ramps or end up trapped next to a giant motorhome? Au contraire! There was so much space we could fully open all the car doors.
