High Speed Ferry

Our high speed ferry gets you to France comfortably and quickly, with crossing times from just 3 hours.

Travelling at speeds of up to 42 knots, this modern twin-hull ship offer up to two return sailings a day from Portsmouth to the Normandy ports of Cherbourg and Le Havre. But while the fast journey time might make you think of air travel, the experience is very different. You have space and freedom to walk around the high speed vessel, including an outside balcony for those wishing to take in a breath of fresh air.

Check-in for the Fast Cat vessel is easy and hassle free and there are none of the annoying luggage restrictions. You can pack as much as you like into your car or foot passengers can bring what you can comfortably carry.
