Brittany Ferries launches new Portmouth to Le Havre route

Brittany Ferries has launched a new cross-Channel route from Portsmouth to Le Havre in Normandy.

The new fastcraft service will run four days a week, from Thursday to Sunday, and takes just 3 hours 45 minutes to make the crossing.

With a 7.00am departure from Portsmouth and arrival in Le Havre at 11.45am, we think the crossing is ideal for day trips – you can be in Normandy for lunch!

Le Havre is Brittany Ferries’ most easterly route, making it particularly convenient for those heading for the east of France, Paris, Disneyland Paris, and the Alps.

UNESCO-listed Le Havre is an intriguing destination in its own right. Attractions include a two kilometre beach right in the town centre, a host of museums (including the biggest collection of impressionist art outside Paris), several shopping centres and a wide range of good restaurants.
