Why travel by ferry from Cherbourg to Guernsey?

Whether you're travelling alone, as a couple or with the family, a Cherbourg to Guernsey ferry can be a convenient and enjoyable option for getting to Guernsey. Here are 3 reasons why we think a ferry from Cherbourg to Guernsey is an ideal way to travel.

It's much less boring than on a plane
If you compare the speed, the plane is certainly the fastest way to get from Cherbourg to Guernsey. But you are stuck in your seat, strapped in by your seatbelt, and there is almost no opportunity to travel. On the other hand, during the Cherbourg Guernsey crossing on the Condor Ferries ferry, you have total freedom in your activities, to eat, walk, entertain or rest. A flight will never provide you with so many services during the trip.
For the comfort of a cabin
Although booking a cabin on the Cherbourg to Guernsey crossing is optional, it is a comfort that should be enjoyed. Like real hotel rooms, they offer travellers beds, bathrooms and, in some suites, portholes and balconies. While their use is most obvious on an overnight crossing, it is perfectly possible to book one during the day.
So you don't have to worry about the amount of luggage
One piece of luggage is free, all the others have to be paid for. This is often the formula used when we travel with other modes of transport, which very often leads to a significant increase in the bill. On the Cherbourg Guernsey ferry, you can take as much luggage as you like, within the capacity of your vehicle. If you are travelling as a pedestrian, the conditions may be more restrictive as you will need to carry your luggage with you until you arrive in Guernsey. However, many ships provide luggage storage for foot passengers. Check with Condor Ferries.
