Hi - I can't find anything recent mentioning it and wonder if anyone has up to date knowledge.

If you book at least three nights of accommodation at the same time as your ferry crossing, it seems that the crossing cost becomes cheaper.

Does anyone know if you have to book BF accommodation for the duration of your tickets (i.e., to begin when your ferry lands and to end when you get back on the ferry) or can you, say, do three days in an hotel to placate your seasick wife after sailing to Spain and then heading for a week somewhere cheaper?

Also, if you can "freelance", can you tow when you're on the ferry and does it save lots of money on the journey (or is it actually saving money on the booked accommodation)?

I hope that makes sense and would be grateful for any answers.

Hi Bede, So, it’s not immediately clear what you are asking!
BF offer all sorts of ways to spend your money from ferry only, as a foot passenger, car passenger or towing and lots of “holidays” including ferry+site, ferry+apartment and ferry+hotel for example.
What is it you would like OR are interested in??

I think that as long as you book the minimum number of nights accommodation to qualify, you get a reduction on your ferry crossing (probably only car + passengers - caravans, cabins etc are usually charged at full rate). To be 100% sure I'd give the ferry company a ring. If you are towing/camping, there are some British owned sites that offer a BF discount code if you stay there a few nights.

Thanks for the replies. If the crossing discount wouldn't apply to the camper being towed, I don't suppose there's any financial advantage to using the Brittany Ferries Holidays offer.

Essentially, this is me trying to work out if I can convince my wife that a Spanish campsite is doable.

I'll give them a ring to make sure but it was worth exploring.
