Shipping companies Normandy

A real link between the Channel Islands and the English Channel, Manche Îles Express operates regular services from Granville, Carteret or Diélette to Jersey, Guernsey, Alderney or Sark. Fares are flexible, depending on the length of your stay and the time of year. The boats are modern and fast, and crossings take just a few dozen minutes: that's how quickly you can get to your Channel Island neighbours. Make sure you have all the official documents you need before you leave!

Visiting Dieppe is almost like having one foot in England. So if you feel like going to drink Afternoon Tea on the other side, the Transmanche ferry takes you there in only 4 hours. The two ferries of the company connect Dieppe to Newhaven and back two or three times a day. The crossings can be made on foot - that's the most economical way - but also by car and even with a camper or a caravan. On board, everything is provided for the comfort of passengers: lounges with television, a canteen, a bar...

To reach England from Normandy, there are three ports and three possibilities: Le Havre, Caen-Ouistreham and Cherbourg. From each of these ports, you can embark on one of the ships of the fleet, direction Portsmouth, which offers direct access to the main motorways and is 2 hours from London by car. Crossings average between 2h15 (for fast ships) and 8h45 for a night ferry crossing. Every year, hundreds of thousands of passengers board the ferry.

From Cherbourg, the company offers many departures to the English coast, via several fast ships in the summer (making the crossing in less than 3 hours) or via huge ferries, the most recent of which is called Galicia. Every year, hundreds of thousands of people, individuals or professionals, use the company's boats from the capital of Cotentin: traffic, after a complicated period due to Brexit and especially the health crisis, is gradually picking up.
