Getting to St Malo from the UK by ferry
Taking the ferry from the UK to St Malo is a really straightforward option for families who don’t want the hassle or cost of flying with little ones. From southern ports like Poole, the crossing usually takes around 6 hours but the ferries are very comfortable and it’s more relaxing than a long drive or taking a flight. You can bring the car, avoid luggage limits and settle in onboard with food, seating areas and space for the kids to move around.

If you sail from Portsmouth, the journey is longer at around 10 to 11 hours, but this is typically an overnight crossing, which many families actually prefer. Booking a cabin means the kids can sleep through most of the journey and you arrive in France refreshed and ready to start your holiday. Arriving into Saint-Malo is easy, and within a short drive you can be at beaches, campsites and family-friendly resorts across Brittany. Overall, it’s a calm, practical and budget-friendly way to cross to France, especially if you’re travelling with children and lots of holiday gear. The Direct Ferries website is the best place to compare deals, providers and crossing times.
