Europe by sea
From Britain and Ireland to Europe’s coasts and islands
The right ferry can start a family holiday, connect an island community or save a long motorway journey. From Britain and Ireland, choose between short Channel crossings, overnight sailings across the North Sea, routes to northern Spain and the many boats serving our own coastlines.
Start with the port that suits your journey. A northern departure can avoid the drive to Dover; a Welsh port can put you closer to your destination in Ireland. Scottish island itineraries need their own approach, with vehicle reservations and onward connections planned together.
- Travel with a car, motorcycle, bicycle or motorhome on many routes
- Choose fast daytime crossings or longer overnight sailings
- Connect mainland Europe with islands and neighbouring countries
Crossings across the continent
England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland — and beyond
Explore international routes from England, the Hebrides, Orkney and Shetland from Scotland, Irish Sea crossings from Wales, and ferries around Ireland and onwards to continental Europe. Northern Ireland, the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands have dedicated guides too.
Our European catalogue covers France, Spain, Italy, Greece, the Adriatic, Scandinavia and the Baltic. Every listed connection has a separate guide for each direction, so departure terminals, arrival arrangements and onward travel match the journey you are making.

Travel your way
Choose how you travel by ferry
One of the biggest advantages of ferry travel is the choice of how you travel and what you take with you.
Take your own vehicle
Drive aboard on many routes and continue your journey with your own car when you arrive.
Travel as a foot passenger
Many city-to-city and island routes are convenient without a vehicle, especially when ports have good public transport links.
Make the crossing part of the holiday
Relax on deck, eat onboard or book a cabin on longer sailings instead of spending the journey in an airport terminal.
Practical travel planning
Plan the details before leaving for the port
Before choosing a sailing, check the complete vehicle dimensions, passenger names, required documents and the carrier’s check-in deadline. Arrange pet accommodation, cabins and boarding assistance early; these can have less availability than the crossing itself.
Use our UK travel guides alongside the route, port and operator pages. For island services, confirm the named pier, sailing day and final return departure before committing to accommodation or a connecting train.

Ferry planning for journeys from the UK
FerryEU.co.uk brings the wider European ferry network together with detailed coverage of England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland. Start with a port, compare a ferry company or browse our directional route guides to understand the whole journey.
An outward and return sailing can have different check-in arrangements, local times and onward transport. Our separate guides explain the departure end of each crossing and connect you with the destination information you will need after landing.
The catalogue includes major international operators and smaller local island services. Where a local boat has its own booking arrangements, its official timetable and ticket website are linked directly. Always confirm the dated sailing and current service information before travel.
