Route guide

Plan your ferry from Guernsey to Portsmouth

The Guernsey to Portsmouth crossing links Guernsey in the Channel Islands with Portsmouth in the United Kingdom. This route is part of the English Channel / Channel Islands ferry network.

For a departure from Guernsey, start by locating the ferry terminal and checking how to reach the correct boarding point. St Peter Port is Guernsey’s passenger-ferry gateway. The terminal is close to the capital, while the rest of the island is compact enough for straightforward onward travel by bus, taxi or permitted vehicle.

On the other side of the crossing, Portsmouth is your arrival port. Portsmouth is easy to navigate by foot and rail, with several ferry terminals, the Historic Dockyard and Gunwharf all close to the urban core.

Compare the Guernsey departure and Portsmouth arrival on the same dated itinerary. Sailing times and intermediate calls can differ between directions, so use the Guernsey to Portsmouth result when planning your trip rather than assuming the outward timetable applies in reverse.

Check the total cost for everyone travelling, including any vehicle, reserved seat, cabin or other option offered. A later arrival in Portsmouth may affect your next connection or accommodation, so compare the whole journey as well as the fare.

Passengers, vehicles and the fare

Select the correct passenger category before comparing Guernsey to Portsmouth fares. A passenger-only boat cannot take a car, and a vehicle ferry may still have limited bicycle or foot-passenger availability. The travel modes shown in the facts panel should be checked against the specific sailing.

For a vehicle booking, give the full height and length including a roof box, rear rack or trailer. Where accommodation is offered, check whether a cabin or seat is required and whether meals are included. Request mobility assistance and any pet space before completing the booking, because these can have separate capacity limits.

Prices depend on the date, passenger mix, vehicle and ticket conditions. Compare the complete return cost and the amendment or cancellation terms. No fixed fare on this guide should replace a dated quote.
