Portsmouth to Santander: My Epic, 2 Night, 30+ hour Voyage on Brittany Ferries MV Galicia!
332,247
Published 2023-02-10
Come with me on this trip where I'll show you the boat and the facilities on offer including the food, entertainment, accommodation, outside space etc and, most importantly, the exclusive c-club lounge which, in my opinion, is a must for anyone considering this voyage. It is certainly well-worth the money as I'll show you in this video.
I'd love to hear from you if you've done this journey. What was your experience like? Did you (like me) travel as a foot passenger? How did you find the facilities on offer?
Thanks as always guys for taking the time to watch my videos. All likes, comments, subs are massively appreciated and it really encourages me to make more content for you all to enjoy.
Cheers for now.
Mark

The best thing about Brittany is that they register their ships in France and have properly employed crews. A lot of other ferry lines sub this out to flags of other countries whilst Brittany sticks to it roots. Well done and yes I understand the ships hull is made in China but having travelled on the Salamanca many of the other fittings, important ones, were also European.

I have been sober now for nearly 7 years, but of course, i have bad days. Any time i am feeling down or lonely i put one of your videos on, even if its just on in the background. It always makes me feel like i have a friend. So, if you ever think of giving up or doubt what youre doing, please remember that you, in a very real way, save peoples lives. Keep up the vlogs!!!

Brilliant .I’m a married man of six kids . This looks like the perfect procrastination type trip to make alone and get some calm , quiet and respite .

i loved the picured window in the room. psycologiacally its less clautrophobic a cabin without a window. i say brilliant brittany ferries for this touch

Keep these ferry videos coming, yours are by far the most entertaining and educational! :)

I've done this trip before with my late husband and 3 young kids. We all enjoyed the crossing. My kids saw dolphins and a low flying military plane. The sea was a bit rough in places though.
-
What a fantastic voyage and a great video! Funny because I'm just editing a ferry trip just now as well :) Oh and I totally fell for your fake window at the start. Bravo mate!
-
Thanks for the short film. Good job.

Done this crossing a bit. Santander has some beautiful scenery. We travelled on a Royal Enfield motor bike down Santander coast. We were heading to tour Portugal. Motorways were not built then. a fantastic trip & every body we met were great.

Great tour!! Thank you! Very nice ferry.

Another great video, full of information and good advice. Keep them coming Mark. 👏👍

It's a mini-break in itself, a very pleasant looking wee cruise. Great video, thanks for posting!

This has been on my bucket list for a while so great to see you do a video on the sailing. I think it’s partially just for the length of the sailing and also how close the port is to Downtown Santander when you arrive. Glad the Bay of Biscay was behaving itself. Maybe something I will do in the next 3 years after my U.S. cross country trip this month. So many places to see and not enough time to do everything !
-
Just to say that I really enjoyed this vid- very informative and well narrated. I’m planning a trip on the ferry to Santander and back up through Spain and France on the motorbike, and this has been perfect for seeing what you get for your money on the Galicia. Thanks again.

The food looked very nice.Thankyou for sharing.

A really enjoyable video, Mark, with some stunning scenic shots👏. The cabin looked very spacious and I had to do a double take as that picture was very realistic! £30 very good value for the entry to the food lounge. After a bit of a stressful day, your video was just what we needed, thank you😊
