For a departure from Roscoff, start by locating the ferry terminal and checking how to reach the correct boarding point. Roscoff’s ferry terminal sits at Bloscon on the north Brittany coast. Road access is via the local D69/N58 network, while Morlaix provides the nearest mainline rail connections for passengers continuing through France.
On the other side of the crossing, Cork is your arrival port. Central Cork is compact, while buses, trains and road connections open up Cork Harbour and the wider south-west.

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