Travelling with a motorbike by ferry

• Follow the signs to the Brittany Ferries 澳洲幸运10十168体彩开奖网 vehicle embarkation check-in booths and have your booking reference and all necessary travel documents (valid passports, inoculation certificates and visas…) ready

• Your passports will be returned to you along with a boarding card so the port staff can identify you

• Your boarding card is printed with your cabin/ seat number and if you have booked a cabin it is also your cabin key

• Proceed into the car lane designated by our staff prior to the security check

• If you need to use the Terminal facilities you may be able to leave your vehicle at this point subject to time available. Please listen out for any announcements for passengers to return to their vehicles.

• You will be directed through the security checks and will enter the departure car lanes where you must remain with your vehicle.

• The port staff directed by the ship's Loading Officer will guide you on board. This is a skilled operation, and the positioning of vehicles depends on their type and size, so please be patient if your vehicle is not moving as fast as others.

• When the crew are ready you will be directed onto the vessel where your motorcycle will be secured by a member of the crew. Take care when crossing ramps which can be wet, and any braking should be gentle.

• Helmets must be worn when your bike is in motion.

Thick foam pads are placed across your bike to prevent any damage by the heavy duty ratchet straps and chocks are used where appropriate. All crew members are well practiced in securing all types of machine and take great care not to damage your pride and joy, so you do not need to worry.

• Please take a note of the car deck and nearest door number once you are parked

• Please be careful as you move towards the exits as other vehicles may still be boarding and there is limited space between the parked vehicles on the car decks

• Access to the public decks is via the lifts or stairways

Travel tip! Pack a separate travel bag with the essentials you will require during the sailing to save taking large bags with you to your cabin/seat. Remember to take your essentials with you as you are not permitted to return to the car deck during the sailing. Soap and towels are supplied in every cabin. For overnight sailings without a cabin there are public showers and we sell Sleep Packs on board.

• The time on board is always UK time (all departure times are quoted in local time to the ports)

• On each deck there are detailed ship plans on the walls to help you locate your cabin or seat

• There is an Information Desk on each ship located on deck 6 or 7. Our bilingual staff will be happy to assist with any enquiries

• To familiarise yourself with the facilities, the location of your cabin and onboard safety instructions, our ship guides can be downloaded on our website.

• If on a vessel with bar facilities, please bear in mind foreign alcohol limits are lower than ours and there is often a large police presence at the ports!

Relax and enjoy the onboard experience!

There is plenty to do whilst on board our ships which suit all budgets, especially for children including a play room and cinema. The name of the vessel you are sailing on will be shown on your travel documents.

• The hold is sealed during sailing and you will not have access to your bike again until the vessel has docked at the end of the sailing.

• We request you leave your cabin 30 minutes prior to arrival ensuring that you take all your belongings with you

• On overnight sailings you will receive a wake-up call approximately 60 minutes before arrival

• An announcement will be made as to when you can return to your bike. We recommend waiting for the announcement in large public areas

• Do not start your engine until instructed to do so and carefully follow all directions given by the crew

Travel tip! Please be advised there can be delays when queuing for immigration and have your passports ready for inspection.
