UK to Spain by ferry

 At Santander, it’s just a 7 minute walk to
the railway station for a high-speed Alvia train to Madrid…

Why not cruise to
Spain, on a luxury ferry that has more in common with a cruise
liner than old-fashioned Channel ferries?  Brittany Ferries
operates three direct ferry routes from the UK to Spain with
a time-effective crossing time from
Portsmouth to Santander or Bilbao of 2 nights, 1 day.   With
ferry passenger
numbers growing whilst airline passengers to Spain have been
falling.  For much of the year, Brittany ferries now offer an
unprecedented 5 cruise ferry sailings a
week direct to Spain.  You can take your car, of course, and on this page
I’ll explain the options for travel as a foot passenger with train connections.

What’s it like on board the
ferry to Spain?


 
Train travel between the UK & Spain

  • Portsmouth to Santander is usually operated by one of Brittany
    Ferries’ newest ships, the Galicia.


    It offers the most frequent sailings, normally twice a week all year round
    taking 2 nights, 1 day.  
    It’s bookable online at
    www.brittany-ferries.co.uk.

    Santander is a pleasant seaside
    town, the ferry terminal is right in the city centre an easy 7 minute walk from
    the mainline rail station.

    Local trains run from Santander
    to Bilbao.  High-speed trains run from Santander to Madrid.

  • Plymouth to Santander is
    also a good route, it runs April-October
    only, usually operated by the older
    Pont Aven, one of the
    very best ferries serving the British Isles, with the wider range of facilities,
    including the prestigious (and popular) Commodore Class cabins with lounge area,
    satellite TV and private balcony.


    Also bookable online at
    www.brittany-ferries.co.uk.

  • Portsmouth to Bilbao is usually operated by another
    new ship, the Salamanca.

    It
    also operates twice a week all year, taking 2 nights, 1 day.

    In Bilbao the ferry
    terminal in a suburb, you’ll need a taxi to the nearest metro station then a
    metro train into the city centre.

    Bilbao is a larger and more
    industrial centre than Santander, but on the other hand it’s home to the
    famous Guggenheim Museum of modern art, well worth a visit,
    and has direct trains not only to Madrid but to San Sebastian, Zaragoza &
    Barcelona.

  • The ferries to Spain carry
    motorists & freight, and usually foot passengers too.  But be aware when booking at
    www.brittany-ferries.co.uk:

  • Some sailings carry foot
    passengers with a full range of cabins available
    In this
    case, no problem, go ahead and book!

  • Some sailings carry foot
    passengers, but departures mysteriously show all cabins ‘sold out’
    – only
    reclining seats seem to be available.   Now re-run the
    enquiry with Bicycle or Motorcycle selected rather than On foot – Aha, cabins magically appear, they are
    clearly not sold out at all!  The solution here is to book with a bike
    or motorbike added, then turn up as a foot passenger, explaining you decided
    to leave the bike at home.  You could try calling Brittany
    Ferries afterwards and seeing if they’ll remove the bike for you,
    though I doubt this will succeed.  You may just have to bike the bullet
    and pay a bit extra for a bike you won’t be taking.

  • A few sailings may not carry
    foot passengers at all
    .  You’ll see foot passenger option missing
    (or the sailing dates missing) when booking online. 
    You can try an alternative route or date, or you can try calling Brittany
    Ferries to see if a foot passenger place can be booked by phone.

  • This is usually the easiest and
    most frequent route for train+ferry passengers, unless you live in the West
    Country when a sailing from Plymouth to Santander may be more convenient.

  • Brittany Ferries sails from
    Portsmouth to Santander all year round, usually twice a week
    leaving Portsmouth on Tuesdays at 17:00 (arriving Santander at
    18:00 next day) & Wednesdays at 12:00 (arriving Santander
    at 13:00 next
    day).  However, sailing days & times vary so check online
    at www.brittany-ferries.co.uk. 

  • Enjoy the departure from Portsmouth
    Continental Ferry Port, as the ship sails right past
    Portsmouth’s historic naval dockyard with Nelson’s flagship
    HMS Victory and then Victorian ironclad HMS Warrior clearly
    visible from the ferry, as well as Portsmouth’s new
    ‘Spinnaker Tower’.  In Santander, the ferry docks
    right in the city centre, a short walk from Santander’s mainline railway station for
    trains to Madrid and Alicante.

  • Train connection from
    London to Portsmouth:
      Trains run from London Waterloo to Portsmouth &
    Southsea station every half hour,
    journey time 1hour 35 minutes, see
    www. nationalrail.co.uk to check UK times & fares. 
    No reservation possible or necessary, just turn up and buy a ticket on the
    day.  You should use Portsmouth &
    Southsea station as this is closest to the Continental Ferry
    Terminal, not Portsmouth Harbour.  A taxi from Portsmouth &
    Southsea to the Continental
    Ferry Port costs around 6.  Remember there’s a 45
    minute minimum check-in for the ferry, but always allow plenty
    of time between train and ferry in case of any delay. 
    See the UK page for train
    information within Britain.  There are also direct
    trains from Cardiff, Bristol, Brighton,
    Southampton and Reading to Portsmouth.

  • Train connections from Santander
    to Madrid & the rest of Spain:
      In Santander, the ferry arrives at
    the Estacin Maritima right in the city centre, an easy 7 minute (500m)
    walk from the Renfe mainline station and the FEVE narrow-gauge station.  
    Three daily high-speed Alvia trains run from Santander to
    Valladolid & Madrid, journey
    time 4
    hours, one or two going all the way through to Alicante, see

    www.thetrainline.com
    (easiest to use, in , or $, small booking fee) or www.renfe.com
    (in , much more fiddly, may reject some overseas credit cards) for times, fares
    & booking.  You should ideally book in advance – booking should open 60
    days ahead – as reservation is compulsory and there are cheap advance-purchase fares from around 28 if you pre-book.  I recommend
    allowing several hours between the ship’s arrival and any
    onward train booking, if necessary staying in Santander
    overnight, to allow for transfer time and any delay
    to the ship.  The FEVE narrow-gauge station is next to
    the Renfe station and has local trains several times daily to Oviedo and
    Bilbao, see
    www.renfe.com/viajeros/feve
    (FEVE has now been absorbed into Renfe).



  • Map of Santander showing ferry terminal & stations.

  • If you need to stay overnight in Santander,
    I recommend the Hotel Bahia, a modern hotel directly across the road
    from the ferry terminal and a 6-minute walk from the railway station. 

  • Luggage storage in Santander: 
    There are no left luggage lockers at the station, but you’ll find luggage
    lockers on the lowest level of Santander bus station.

  • The Portsmouth- Bilbao ferry
    route operates twice a week from late March to early November, sailing on
    Fridays at 17:00 (arriving Bilbao at 18:00 next day) and on Sundays at 23:15,
    arriving in Bilbao at 08:00 on Tuesdays.

  • Sailings on this route are operated
    by the new Salamanca.  On departure from Portsmouth Continental Ferry
    Port, the ship sails right past Portsmouth’s historic naval dockyard with
    Nelson’s HMS Victory and then ironclad HMS Warrior clearly visible from her
    decks.   For train connections between London & Portsmouth, see the
    previous section.

  • Train connections in
    Bilbao:
      In Bilbao
    the ferry docks at Zierbena, 16 km northwest of central
    Bilbao.  It’s a 5 km, 18 taxi ride from the ferry
    terminal to Santurtzi metro station, from where there are
    metro suburban trains every few minutes into Bilbao’s Abando
    station in the city centre, taking 21-23 minutes and costing a euro or two,
    see www.metrobilbao.net.

    There are two daily high-speed trains from Bilbao Abando
    station to Valladolid & Madrid, journey time
    to Madrid 4
    hours 50 minutes, and two direct daily trains to Zaragoza &
    Barcelona, journey time, 6 hours 40 minutes, see
    www.thetrainline.com
    (easiest to use, in , or $) or
    www.renfe.com
    (in , much more fiddly)
    for times, fares & online booking.  I’d recommend allowing
    several hours between the ship’s arrival and any onward train
    booking, to allow for transfer time and any delay to the ship.  

    Bilbao’s Matiko station has hourly narrow gauge trains to
    San Sebastian (Donostia-Amara) every hour or half-hour,
    journey time 2 hours 35 minutes, see
    www.euskotren.eus.

  • Fares vary by
    departure date, rather like air fares, and according to the cabin accommodation
    you choose.  However, ferry
    fares to Spain start at around 246 return for two people travelling
    together in an inside 2-berth cabin (in other words, 123 each return),
    or 276 with an outside cabin (‘outside’ means with
    window, well worth the extra cost), rising to 646 return for two
    people sharing a Commodore Class suite with private balcony. 
    Prices for solo passengers start at around 228 return with sole
    occupancy of an inside cabin.

  • You can buy ferry
    tickets to Spain online at
    www.brittany-ferries.co.uk,
    whether you’re a foot passenger or motorist, with a
    selection of cabins – but see the
    section about foot passengers above.


    Or call
    0330 159 7000, lines open
    09:00-18:00 Mondays-Fridays, 09:00-16:30 Saturdays & Sundays.

  • You can buy train tickets to
    Portsmouth & Southsea or to Plymouth from anywhere in Britain
    online as shown on the UK page or
    using
    www.nationalrail.co.uk

  • To buy
    train tickets or simply check train times & fares within
    Spain, go to either

    www.thetrainline.com
    (easy to use, prices in , or $, small booking fee) or
    www.renfe.com (Renfe’s own
    site, in , much more fiddly, can struggle with overseas credit cards,
    see
    this advice on using it).

See for yourself how
straightforward and comfortable a journey via Brittany Ferries can be! 
This shows a northbound trip from Madrid Atocha to London Waterloo, on Brittany
ferries Pont-Aven from Santander to Portsmouth.   This route is now
operated by the Galicia.



Back to top

The ferries offer a choice of
restaurants & bars, standard & deluxe cabins, sun decks & cinema. 
All cabins come with en suite toilet & shower, a small
dressing table, and 2-pin European type power sockets for
recharging laptops, cameras or mobiles.  The Pont
Aven even has a small indoor swimming pool with poolside bar, two cinemas,
and free WiFi internet access (in public areas but not
in cabins).  These ships make getting to Spain as
much a cruise as a ferry crossing.  A great way to reach
Spain with or without your car, flight-free.

Cabin types:  All cabins have a private shower &
toilet, with bedding, towels, soap & shampoo provided. 
On the Pont Aven you’ll find standard inside cabins (1 or 2
berths), standard outside cabins (1-4 berths with window),
Club cabins (similar to standard outside cabins but with two
lower berths, satellite TV with several UK channels, and tea/coffee facilities), Deluxe
cabins (with TV/DVD player, tea/coffee facilities, twin beds,
complimentary continental breakfast served in the cabin) and
Commodore Class cabins (similar facilities as the Deluxe
cabins but significantly larger & with private balcony).

  • In Santander:  If you need to stay overnight in Santander,
    I recommend the Hotel Bahia, a modern hotel directly across the road
    from the ferry terminal and a 6-minute walk from the railway station.




My favourite hotel search site: 

www.booking.com


www.booking.com
is my favourite hotel booking site and I generally prefer booking my hotels all in one place here.   You can usually book with free
cancellation – this allows you to confirm your accommodation at no risk before train
booking opens.  It also means you can hold accommodation while you finalise
your itinerary, and alter your plans as they evolve – a feature I use all
the time when putting a trip together.  I never book hotels non-refundably. 
I have also come to trust their review scores – you won’t be disappointed with
anything over 8.0.


Tip:  It can pay to compare prices across multiple hotel sites: 
HotelsCombined.com is a price comparison site which compares hotel prices on
Booking.com, Hotels.com, Expedia, Accor, Agoda and many others.  Though if
there’s not much in it, I prefer keeping all my bookings together in one place
at
www.booking.com.

Backpacker hostels



  • www.hostelworld.com:  If you’re on a tight budget,
    don’t forget about backpacker hostels.   Hostelworld
    offers online booking of cheap private rooms or dorm beds in
    backpacker hostels in most cities at rock-bottom prices.

Always take out travel insurance…


You should take out travel insurance with at least 1m or preferably 5m medical cover
from a reliable insurer.  It should cover trip cancellation and
loss of cash & belongings up to a reasonable limit.  These days, check
you’re covered for covid-19-related issues, and use an insurer whose cover isn’t
invalidated by well-meant but excessive Foreign Office travel advice against
non-essential travel. An annual
policy is usually cheapest even for just 2 or 3 trips
a year, I have an annual policy with
Staysure. co.uk
myself. 
Don’t expect travel insurance to bail you out of every missed
connection, see
the advice on missed connections here.  Here are some suggested
insurers, I get a little commission if you buy through these links,
feedback always welcome.


  www.staysure.co.uk
offers enhanced Covid-19 protection and gets 4.7 out of 5 on

Trustpilot.


 
www.columbusdirect.com is also a well-know brand.


 
If you live in the USA try

Travel Guard USA.


 



Curve card
saves foreign transaction fees…

Banks often give a poor
exchange rate, then charge a currency conversion fee as well.  A Curve
MasterCard means no foreign transaction fees and gives you the mid-market
exchange rate, at least up to a certain limit, 500 per month as I write this.   The balance goes straight onto one of your existing debit or
credit cards.  And you can get a Curve card for free.

How it works:  1.
Download the app for
iPhone or Android.  2. Enter your details & they’ll send you a Curve
MasterCard – they send to most European addresses including the UK.  3.
Link your existing credit & debit cards to the app.  4. Now use the Curve
MasterCard to buy things online or in person or take cash from ATMs, just like a
normal MasterCard. Curve does the currency conversion and puts the balance onto
whichever of your debit or credit cards you choose.  You can even change
your mind about which card it goes onto, within 14 days of the transaction.

I use a Curve Blue card myself
– I get a little commission if you sign up to Curve, but I’m recommending it
here because I think it’s great. 
See details, download
the app and get a Curve card – they’ll give you 5 cashback through that
link, too.


 



When you’re travelling you often use free WiFi in public places which may not be
secure.  A VPN means your connection to the internet is encrypted & always
secure, even using unsecured WiFi.  In countries such as China where access
to Twitter & Facebook is restricted, a VPN gets around these restrictions. 
And lastly, you can select the geographic location of the IP address you browse
with, to get around geographic restrictions which some websites apply – for
example one booking site charges a booking fee to non-European visitors but none
to European visitors, so if you’re not located in Europe you can avoid this fee
by browsing with a UK IP address using a VPN. 
VPNs & why you need one explained. 
ExpressVPN is a best buy and I use it myself – I’ve signed up as an
ExpressVPN affiliate, and if you go with
expressvpn. com using the links on this page, you should see a special deal,
3 months free with an annual subscription, and I get a small commission to help
support this site.


 



Carry an Anker powerbank…


With tickets, reservations, vaccination records and Interrail or Eurail passes
now often held digitally on your mobile phone, it’s vital to keep it charged. 
I recommend carrying an
Anker
powerbank which can recharge your phone several times over if you can’t get
to a power outlet when you’re on the move.  I never travel without one.
