Plymouth to Roscoff


It is 114 miles (183 Kilometres) from Plymouth to Roscoff and the current ferry, MV Amorique, makes the crossing in 6 hours by day, but the night crossing takes 8 hours.

Here she is at the Ferryport in Plymouth


She can carry 1500 passengers and 470 cars and has 247 cabins.






















Here she is at the Ferryport in Roscoff, 
and like all ships everywhere, routine maintenance and cleaning never stops.

Brittany ferries began the service in 1973 and there have been daily sailings from Plymouth and Roscoff for most of the year ever since. I calculate that I have been across and back perhaps fifty times.
