I have a lot of comments from people (maybe not familiar with my channel format) who can't find the price of the ferry. Just so you know, it's always at the very end of the video in the notes (last 30 seconds or so). But I paid 443€ in total, oneway, including EVERYTHING. The most basic price you can pay for the crossing (ferry only) is 129€. Thank you.

This is basically what my wife and I consider a romantic cruise. So lovely and such a high standard with no other bugger around to ruin it.

Travelled on Plymouth - Santander 15 years ago, a very agreeable way to start our tour of Europe. Only drawback was the car deck below us that had a car with its alarm going off through the rougher seas of the Bay of Biscay. When we arrived into Santander there was a BMW with a sheepish looking owner as they had a flat battery, everyone got to drive past them, we all KNEW whose car alarm had kept us awake in the wee hours 😂 It was a superb experience, I’d do it again in a heartbeat, just got to convince the family that it’s a great way to start a holiday!

I'm Irish living in England. I used to use Ryanair but after the pandemic I didn't relish the sardine tin feeling of flying. I came into some unexpected cash and decided to try driving across to avoid the crush and take the opportunity to transport some items that wouldn't fit in my cabin bag. The ferry was a revelation. The staff, from checking-in to disembarking, were pleasant and helpful. The ferry was clean and bright with all the facilities I needed and more. I felt welcome and respected in a way that I have never felt on Ryanair. Yes, it is FAR more expensive and takes far longer, but as long as I can find the cash I will continue to use the ferry and avoid Ryanair like the plague.

I gave up with Ryanair twenty years ago. Cattle class and even though it was cheap and only an hours flight from Manchester, its the getting to the airport, through security, being treated like an inconvenience by the Ryanair staff, the sardines effect onboard and then the crush at Dublin as passengers disembark like warriors! I always drive now, Holyhead to Dublin and always on the slow ferry. Relaxing, clean and like you said, everything you need for the three hours onboard. I came back 4th of January this year and the ferry was half full. So quiet, so relaxing. You are so right, the ferry is better than flying.

Great video, as always Steve, really glad the Bay of Biscay didn't live up to its reputation for you on this occasion. I know you probably know this but, as an ex-travel agent I can say that even though 23:59 sounds like a weirdly specific departure time, midnight (24:00 or 00:00) doesn't actually exist in the travel industry. Times are always either 23:59 or 00:01 to prevent any possible confusion as to which date the time belongs to; it can seem weird but makes an awful lot of sense.

Hope you enjoyed the trip, and also hope that it was warmer when you got to your destination.

It depends on the time of year you travel, in summer and spring things start to get lively (which is also good), but on those dates, believe me, it is a delight, the trip goes by quickly. The Cantabrian Sea and the Cantabrian coast are spectacular. The entire Bay of Biscay and Cantabria itself is a Wonder of the World, especially the emerald Coast. For your comment, mention all the destinations where Brittany operates are famous for being places for rest and relaxation and healing, etc. since before the 19th century. The company's careful selection of terminals makes it unique and fantastic because the destinations are jewels. Greetings

A million times nicer than a cruise!! The food looked amazing (made me hungry!) and nice to be so empty … thanks a million you’re a gent

I was recently on the bilbao to rosslare route after a really really long week and extremely long drive from central Portugal in a van and this ship was just what I needed to get some rest and food. Throughly enjoyed!!

Another great video. I must agree with you about being a foot passenger. I always feel we are a gross inconvenience to a ferry company. I also feel the pressure when filming a drive-on into a ferry. Some ports are a bit uncomfortable with photography, and you only get one chance to get it right. Here's an idea for your next ferry trip. Instead of counting steps, count calories!

Another great one Steve. Looks like a really good mini cruise. The term bunkering goes back to the days when ships were coal driven. Coal bunker boats would come to the ships. The ships would then open large doors and the bunker boats would transfer all the coal across. But the name has stuck and it now simply means the ships being refuelled with diesel fuel. 🙋‍♂️👏👏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

This was randomly recommended by KZread. I really enjoyed watching and how lucky were you, having a whole ferry virtually to yourself. Certainly better than the old ferries I remember from years ago.

At 4:33 in the video you walk through a door with scallop shells. You then turn left past a yellow arrow. These are all "Camino de Santiago" symbols. The Camino is an ancient pilgrimage route in Northern Spain. As a frequent hiker on the Camino is was SO COOL to see those symbols. You are making great videos.

We´ve done that route on the Galicia, sister ship, but from Bilbao not Santander. It may seem expensive but you have to know that car hire in Ireland is expensive, very expensive. We took our car and were very pleased with the service. The ships ride very well and the staff were attentive and correct. We like that we were travelling on a ship registered in France, no flag of inconvenience. If staying overnight in Rosslare St Martins guest house is ideal, really good and a well run place.

That was definitely a mini cruise! I would have also enjoyed it without the crowds. And you cabin was quite cozy. Thanks so much for taking us along!

How lovely to have so much quiet on a large public ship! So relaxing.

I don’t have a tv at home…. Excellent that’s what I like to hear! 👍

As you often say, you do the hard trips so we don't have to. I really felt for you, the ship to yourself, all that food and drink, sport on TV, a cosy cabin, on demand movies (in French), no Internet (such deprivation) and an outside deck to yourself (plenty of wind) Steve, please don't push yourself too much with these arduous journeys! And the price! Now, how soon can I book it?

There's a really nice beach where people walk their dogs right by the europort in Rosslare but it's easily missed especially at night, lol. The town is up the hill. There's a couple of hotels, a petrol station and a super market. It's pretty quiet. I've wanted to learn more about this trip for ages!

Hi Steve, I'm glad you managed to do this trip. I'm the guy who gave you the idea in a comment I made on another one of your videos a few months back as my wife and I have done this route with car for the last three winters.

This has been an eye opener for me: I'm a biker and I stay a bit north of Glasgow; have often taken the Plymouth/ Portsmouth ferry to Santander in the spring time. What am I thinking about? All those "loose-the-will-to-live" motorway miles through Engerlandshire (501 in total), when I could ride down to Cairnryan, and on to Rosslare (just 362 miles)! Righty-ho that's it: Spain via Ireland next time for me. Cheers pal.

Your post gave me an idea too! I live in the Algarve, I love riding and spending time in Scotland on my GS . As you suggest, rather than the ferry to the UK south coast from Spain, I should head up through Ireland ! Saves miles and is probably a more interesting ride ! (Fancy a hose swap for a week ?)

That was actually more interesting that i thought, i would love a winter fery trip like that. The snaps in the end of the video was great...all in all....great video

That was a great wee video. I'd always wondered about the ferry from Ireland to northern Spain and you covered it really well. I'm glad you enjoyed the voyage as much as I enjoyed watching your adventure. 😊

An excellent experience Steve - to travel along with you is a voyage of constant discovery - and how we enjoy seeing you "living the good life" on a very rare occasion in a proper cabin with good food and drink. On any ferry trip of a long duration it can appear tedious-but you ensure that the viewer's attention never wanders as you change the view in such a way as if we all decide to go and look at something else. Keep up the good work - always a very high standard !

I really enjoyed that, feels like I've just been on a mini-break ! ..I love ferries and boats of any kind and also been wondering about that ferry trip down to Spain, would love to do it one day. Was great thanks for taking us along. 😊

Thank you another great video, we experiencing things we may never experience ourselves with your videos, I was amazed how calm the ocean was ship was just gliding through it

Well, the weather was less than ideal, but the cabin looked wonderful. And those still pictures were lovely. Loved the video.

I'm always intrigued when I get the notification that another great travel video has landed from Steve. For two nights accommodation in a spotlessly clean and well appointed cabin, full-board food and drinks offering of what appeared very good quality, and the journey experience (with what seemed like very polite and professional crew)... I think that you bagged a bargain! safe travels to the next destination.

Always love the ferry trips. Also with the story arc from last week realising how done you were at the end of that day I love that you were picking up just in anticipation of a ferry journey, but then a small act of customer service - getting the three foot passengers on board early - was enough to carry you through a bit of an introduction on the first night. Cabin cost... on top of the ferry ticket, maybe a little pricey but definitely not super duper expensive for two nights in what looked to be a very decent cabin with decent quality food and drink inclusions. @2:47 Clearly driving onto the ship is a favourite moment for at least 2 out of 3 passengers on that bus. :) I'm with you - rugging up a bit is a small price to pay to get a lovely peaceful ferry, and I'd also keep getting drawn outside.

Cracking video Steve, amazing to have the ferry almost all to yourself and enough food for an army😉A very relaxing trip for you this time😊

The food convinced me and the wine was the topping . New ship with lovely furnishings made the trip very enjoyable . You can't keep an outdoors man like Steve in his cabin for long so the frequent forays to the different decks and nooks of this wonderful ferry . Yes in the summers this would definitely be a jostling proposition . Thanks for taking us along ; the weather thankfully wasn't too disagreeable though a keen edge was to be expected on top . Santander ahoy ; looking forward to sunny times .

It looks great. Good value when you consider the journey, accommodation and full board with drinks. Interesting to see what Santander is like 😊

Absolute bliss! Well worth it. Great footage for us all to enjoy. Wouldn't have minded trying alot of that food either!

Rosslare was one of my ferry terminals when I'd travel to and from Waterford - Birmingham, and I always loved it. Full of trucks and hardly anyone else

I'd been waiting for this one :) My wife and I and our two dogs did Santona's sister ship Salamanca in late May/early June this year between Rosslare and Bilbao with a car. The vessel looks identical down to the restaurant names and even the modern artwork on deck. I loved it too, but we had a dog cabin so no C club lounge, and for us both it was about £1K return. Dog cabin sames as the one above, just with two additional drop down bunks above (essential for clean bedding due to poop deck hygiene concerns) I'd do it again in a heart beat (despite the "poop deck" being awash with unmentionables by mid-crossing - I assume its similar on Santona) It was also fairly quiet when we went across, really hope it's got some kind of ongoing subsidy as the route is an absolute gem, especially for dog owners who want to get closer to the Mediterranean without having to drive through France. Santander ferry terminal looks significantly nicer than Bilbao.

Really enjoyed your video. Looking forward to seeing more.❤️😀👍

Steve, I have to tell you that those hand held long exposures of Santander were GREAT! I tried that in Hong Kong and despite much effort, the pics look like I shot by the skyline doing 90 mph! So just a note to say GOOD PICS!

I thoroughly enjoyed that. Your excitement about going on the journey is very relatable. Looks like a lovely way of going to Spain.

The cabin looks like a basically identical unit you see in most if not all the ferries crossing between Sweden and Finland as well. I've spent my fair share in these going back and forth. Looks like a nice way to get to Santander if you don't want to sit at the wheel driving for hours and hours. Ferry rides (or mini cruises) are a nice way to travel at a leisurely pace - just bring a book, some movies and a laptop.

What a wonderful adventure! I agree that ferry trips in the off season are delightful. I have made the ferry journey from Sitka, AK, to Washington many times in November, and even though the daylight is short, it is a wonderful three days. The cabins, as you experienced, are a little pricey, and all food is extra, but the (not too new) movies they show are free. 🙂 Phone service and any internet is non-existent, but I pass the days with reading, word puzzles and following along on my volume of maps. I haven't made this trip since 2019. The financial problems and the pandemic really affected the Alaska Marine Highway, but I still would go on another trip without a second thought. I am like the lady you could hear on the bus from the ferry terminal to the ship.....so excited for the journey. I always enjoy your ferry trips and the lighthouses! Fair winds and following seas on all your journeys!

OH, yeah. Awesome! 😊 This cabin sure beats trying to sleep in a pod. Love your sense of humor. Beautiful ship - delightful everything. Excellent camera work - so vivid!
