Ferries are filling up fast !!!

[Spike941]

Was on a rough crossing from Portsmouth to Santander on the Baie de Seine at the weekend. Looking forward to new fleet in 2021. I was driving, but felt sorry for these guys. They had this to look forward to an hour out of Santander.

I spoke with a chap from Brittany Ferries at the NEC bike show to offer some feedback on their lack of provision for those on two wheels

He said that the reason the May 1st sailing has filled up so fast is based upon the ship and the availability of cabins for bikers. There are only 20 places on the May 1st sailing. The May 2nd sailing can accommodate 60 bikes max

Of course there were promises of jam tomorrow (as my old boss used to say). New vessels are on the horizon and they should have larger capacity

I agree 100% Brittany ferrys should display on there information web site prior to going throught the booking drawn out process actually how many provisional places are available to bikers on each boat and crossing....that way we have a fighting chance of getting a place outbound and inbound..

Ive always found the help desk very helpfull , and i deliver to their ships 3 times a week and find a few french greetings goes a long way ..im a creep for a french ladys smile

Maybe if we as bikers all bombarded Brittany Ferrys with emails of aasking for this facility they might do something about it...a online pertion would be great even include them dogs at mcn lol...im not clever enough to organise it but can post my views

I'm pretty sure the Pont Aven has room for plenty of bikes. It's the others which have limited availability. The queue to get back on in September was well over 100 yards long with 2 or 3 bikes side by side. Incidentally I booked 3 bikes and 2 cabins for the end of April, returning 3 weeks later, just a few days ago. No problems.
