High Speed Ferries
Our high speed ferries get you to France comfortably and quickly, with crossing times from just 2½ hours.
Travelling at speeds of up to 42 knots, these modern twin-hull ships offer up to three return sailings a day from Portsmouth and Poole to the Normandy ports of Cherbourg and Caen. 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 vessels, including an outside balcony for those wishing to take in a breath of fresh air.
Check-in for the Fast Cat vessels 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.
