That sounds high but then Brittany Ferries have no competition on that crossing we have just come back from France and always use that crossing because we only live 1.30mins away depends where you live and what part of France your going to a lot of people say DFDS ferries are cheaper but they are over Dover way.
touring about pete up and down the atlantic coast is the rough plan and didn't fancy the drive from dover. were travelling from the north west so want to get my head down on the ferry on the way out. thanks for the reply
Fair enough but for £62 you could have crossed from Dover return with DFDS. If the shorter drive / longer crossing is worth the difference to you that's fine. But £850 buys a lot in France.

thanks for the reply oxter ive done the Santander crossing and the rosscoff crossing in the last 2 yrs and gone back by Calais both times I know its pricey but Im knee deep in kids on this trip aged 17 15 5 3 so the overnight cabin will be a great help.
It can work out cheaper to book one of their gite / cottage holidays, which include one of their return crossings....than the crossing on its own.
Not sure if you would get caught out by their T&Cs if you didn't use the accommodation at all....can't imagine you would as there's nothing extra in it for them.
Brittany Ferries Club Voyage, we joined this year and basically saved our joining fee and years membership with the discount we got on our trip just gone from Poole to Cherbourg with a motorhome. Going again in 4 weeks time, so well worth it for us.
Members of the club have a code they can give out to non members that saves them 10% if you dont want to actually join yourself.

We paid £770 for this crossing, car and caravan, one night crossing, 4 berth cabin each time. Booked it as soon as bookings opened last year and through c&cc so think that got us a discount. Really looking forward to it, we have kids 5 and 9 will be a real adventure for them and part of the holiday. As we live in Somerset made the most sense to us.
Not done the Roscoff crossing but have done ST Malo daytime return crossing and hadn't booked a cabin - daytime so didn't think about it - kids at time were 16 months; 4; 4 and 7. All good kids, travel well without moaning or issue.
Wished we had booked a day cabin just to have a base! I would always book a cabin even during the day just to get away from noise, crowds etc etc so it may be worth a thought!
Enjoy!

We too are sailing from Plymouth to Roscoff, one car caravan 2 adults overnight cabin cost us 425.00. It was expensive but we thought we would save on Gas and as its our first time to france . We hope to get to La Rochelle area.
Yeah, sounds about right. We're £700 Portsmouth to Caen with trailer anda 4 berth for outbound journey. The overnight journey suits my hubby best as he does all the driving.
Amazing family weekend with old steam engines, classic car displays, market stalls, and full catering and bar. And camping on site - Save £25 by booking in advance.
