Fancy loading the suitcases into the car and heading for Ireland? Brittany Ferries is currently offering a special deal for travel from Cherbourg to Rosslare. A return crossing is available from €342 for a car and two passengers, or €171 per person.
This package allows you to spend up to seven days on the island. It is particularly suited to travellers who want to explore Ireland in their own vehicle, without hiring a car on arrival or weighing every suitcase with a customs officer’s precision.
What does the €342 Ireland offer include?
A return journey between Cherbourg and Rosslare for two travellers
The headline price of €342 is for a return crossing between Cherbourg and Rosslare for two passengers travelling with a standard car. The stay in Ireland can last up to seven days, subject to a maximum of 174 hours on the island.
For a family of two adults and two children under 15, return fares with the car start from €418. Motorcyclists can also take advantage of the offer: a return trip for a motorbike and its rider is available from €202.
A lounge seat is included for overnight crossings, subject to availability. Booking a cabin is optional and incurs an additional charge. Charges may also apply for pets, trailers, additional passengers and vehicles over 5 metres long or 1.83 metres high.
How long is this fare available for?
Crossings available until 30 April 2027
The offer applies to travel completed by 30 April 2027, depending on remaining departure availability. Brittany Ferries notes, however, that this is a limited-time offer and may be withdrawn at any time. Leaving it until the last minute could therefore reduce your choice of dates, sailing times and, above all, cabins.
The package is available for new bookings only. The same number of passengers must travel outbound and return. Foot passengers, bicycles and certain large vehicles are not eligible for this fare.
Is Guide-Irlande.com’s 10% discount available in addition to this offer?
The best available fare is determined when you book
Guide-Irlande.com’s partner link gives you 10% off eligible Brittany Ferries crossings. Simply use one of the buttons in this article to access the operator’s booking website.
Please note, however, that Brittany Ferries states that its ‘seven-day stay’ offer cannot be combined with another promotion. The partner discount should therefore not automatically be deducted from the advertised €342 fare. Depending on the crossing selected, the system applies the available benefit that corresponds to the booking. The price displayed before payment is the one to check.
Why travel to Ireland with your car?
A package particularly well suited to road trips
Arriving in Rosslare in your own vehicle offers welcome freedom. The port is in County Wexford, in the south-east of the island, close to beaches, seaside villages and several routes leading towards Kilkenny, Waterford, Cork and the Wicklow Mountains.
Taking the ferry also means you can bring more luggage, hiking equipment, bicycles carried on the vehicle or everything needed for a family stay. It also avoids the need to collect a hire car and immediately get used to an unfamiliar model while learning to drive on the left.
To plan your journey, our guide to the Cherbourg–Rosslare route explains the crossing, boarding and arrival in Ireland. Travellers prone to seasickness can also consult our tips for avoiding seasickness on the ferry.
What costs should you check before booking?
Your cabin and vehicle dimensions can affect the price
The €342 fare is a starting price, subject to availability. Before confirming, it is best to check the vehicle dimensions declared, the exact number of travellers and any cabin costs. A car fitted with a roof box may, in particular, exceed the standard height allowed under the offer.
Pets are accepted from €55 per journey, depending on the conditions and facilities available on board. Travellers should also budget for meals, any cabin supplements and the fuel needed to reach Cherbourg and then travel around Ireland.
Fares checked on 15 September 2026 and subject to availability. The offer may be withdrawn by Brittany Ferries without notice. As promotions may not necessarily be combined, check the final amount displayed before payment.
