We fancy that stretch of coast in Spain and then driving into France and then on to Bordeaux but are a bit daunted by the thought of 24 hours on a boat, let alone 48 What's it like ? Is there space to stretch out/chill out other than your cabin, is there much room up on deck to get fresh air, what's the entertainment/food like? We are a 'mature' couple and would be travelling without kids.

There's masses of room on board and plenty of space on deck. With any luck you'll spot dolphins and whales. We've gone to Spain on the ferry three times and it's been a delight every time. If you can push the boat out financially for one of the more luxurious cabins that's nice but not essential.

now i am older and take my caravan to france we ususally take the overnight from portsmaouth to caen. if anything the crossing is too short so you only actually get 4h sleep by the time you have gone to bed and been rudley awaken by the cleaners kicking you out of the cabin.   

Exactly the reason we pay a bit extra and go out to St Malo, nice long kip. Come back from Caen on morning boat with a cabin, minimal charge through BF club voyage.
