Spain made cheaper - peak Summer fares cut by up to 26%

Brittany Ferries has just slashed the cost of taking your car to Spain this summer, with a return fare starting at just £177 per person for a car and two adults.  But a lower fare doesn't mean any compromise in comfort, as the twice weekly service from Plymouth to Santander is operated by Pont-Aven, Brittany Ferries' flagship, a £100 million luxury cruise ship that can also take cars. With a crossing time of only 20 hours this is considerably faster than other ferry companies can offer.
