Ferry Operators
Planning a ferry journey? Choosing the right ferry operator is just as important as selecting your route. Whether you’re looking for a short channel crossing or a longer international sailing, each operator offers something a little different. On this page, we introduce the major ferry companies operating to, from, and around Europe. Helping you find the one that best suits your travel plans.

Ferry operators vary in terms of onboard facilities, sailing frequency, ticket types, and destinations served. Some specialise in fast crossings with minimal fuss, while others focus on comfort and customer experience during overnight journeys. Many also offer a mix of passenger and vehicle services, making it easier to bring your car, motorhome, or motorcycle along for the adventure.
We work with a wide range of trusted ferry companies, from household names like P&O Ferries and Stena Line to regional specialists such as Brittany Ferries and DFDS. Whether you’re travelling across the Channel, exploring the Irish Sea, or heading deeper into Scandinavia, you’ll find a reliable operator for your route.
Each ferry company has its own unique policies on check-in times, luggage allowances, pet travel, and onboard services. That’s why we’ve created dedicated pages for every major operator, so you can make informed decisions before booking.
