Before retiring, used to use that route a lot heading to our partners offices in different parts of Spain, and then using the route a lot when we lived out in Spain and came back to UK and reverse, That ferry company has always been a pleasure to use, Just found your channel and have subbed. Looking forward to more.
Hi thank you very much for subscribing we really appreciate it 😊 The ferry journey was a pleasure and easier than we thought it would be. Happy travels 😊
We are on the ferry from Portsmouth in February. Our first ferry to Spain as have always used the tunnel before so it was good to see it. Did take the ferry to Isle of Wight a couple of times but that was years ago. Bit daunted by the long trip. 😅
We took all the normal paperwork you would need to drive in Europe. We also printed off the email of our booking confirmation but it wasn’t required. We arrived an hour before boarding and it was already busy so we will arrive a little earlier next time. Having a cabbing is a good option as is gives you somewhere to retreat and put your bags. Other than that enjoy your time off driving Happy travels 😊
We love the inside cabins especially with the false window. Also a note about the reclining chair lounge if it feels uncomfortable and it’s not too busy coming back I did see and speak with others that lied on the bench seats opposite the lounge. Have a great time
We had a smooth crossing like that , only did the overnight trip and stayed up as find it hard to sleep on a moving vehicle , looking forward to the rest of the vlogs
Hi and thank you, we have the overnight crossing on the way back so giving the recliners ago. It wasn’t the best sleep even with the cabin as you say because it's moving it's a surreal sensation but we did get some. Happy travels 😊
takes me about 45 mins from southampton then ship to santander on a thursday night 33hrs crossing but from plymouth its 24hr xing but im also a hgv1 driver so used to bigger rvs- -- everybody gets a ticket so you can show them to duty free shop for whatever you want--plusv you can get pet friendly cabins as well
I was on that crossing last year and as chance would have it, a lady sitting near us was reading The Summons by Grisham that my wife and I had recently read. As a prank, i said in a loud voice in ENGLISH (We usually speak Welsh) "do you remember the guy who ..? " And we went on the relate the entire plot within the lady's earshot to spoil her enjoyment of the book. Yeah childish, I know. Anyway she turned to us and said that she'd enjoyed our little summary but we were slightly confused and had just described the plot of a completely different story, The Street Lawyer. Oh God Ive never felt so thick.
Thanks for the information we have just looked it up and it looks like a great site, unfortunately, we have already booked our stay this time around so will look at that one in the future. Happy travels 😊
Hi, thank you very much we really appreciate it. 😊 We left the fridge off for the whole journey as we kept it empty. However, it was never checked to even see if we had turned the fridge off but it was better to be safe and stock up when we arrived. We did take tinned and dry food over to keep us going until we found a supermarket. Happy travels 😊
Hope you enjoyed your sailing, as we do this sailing every year. As we have a home in Portugal in the North. Place called Chaves. ❤ Enjoy your vlogs very much.

travelling by ferry is the best way to travel,no worrying about backage weights and so much easier driving your own vehicle,great video
Thank you very much 😊
Brilliant video, I was shocked to see the size of the ship when you were parking up, it’s huge 😮. Can’t wait to see your next video, safe travels 👍🏻
It is massive with plenty of space for your motorhome. Thank you for your support it means a lot 😊 Happy travels 😊
Was good to see the ferry crossing, really want to do this sometime! Have a fabulous trip in Spain 🇪🇸 👋👋😘

Hi, it was daunting for us being the first time on that sort of ferry trip however we was pleasantly surprised. Have a great trip and happy travels 😊
@@lifes4touring any recommendations or paperwork you think we need as we are doing same trip in January
We took all the normal paperwork you would need to drive in Europe. We also printed off the email of our booking confirmation but it wasn’t required. We arrived an hour before boarding and it was already busy so we will arrive a little earlier next time.
Having a cabbing is a good option as is gives you somewhere to retreat and put your bags.
Other than that enjoy your time off driving
Happy travels 😊
Really good vlog. You were lucky with the crossing as apparently that one can be really rough if you get bad weather. Happy holidays. x
Thank you very much and we must of had luck on our side this crossing, happy travels 😊
We love the inside cabins especially with the false window. Also a note about the reclining chair lounge if it feels uncomfortable and it’s not too busy coming back I did see and speak with others that lied on the bench seats opposite the lounge.
Have a great time
Thank you Mick and thanks for letting us know about the bench seats as it sounds like a good option if needed. We appreciate it 😊

Doing well we are looking at air conditioning it’s so hot enjoy your trip good video
Thank you and it is very hot at the moment, I think even an Aircon unit will struggle. A couple of good fans will keep the air flowing 😊 Happy travels
We are currently in Spain and have a Truma Aventa , it doesn’t struggle at all and it was 37c in Merida
Hi, that's good to hear we have never used one only heard they can struggle. Good to hear otherwise thanks for sharing and happy travels 😊
That was a great vlog and ive wondered what is was like on that ferry....now i know 👍👍
Hi and thank you, it was a good trip over glad we could help by showing it the best we could 😊 Happy travels 😊

Cambrils near Salou is a great site. Decent park up for the van and chalets for visitors.
Thanks for the information we have just looked it up and it looks like a great site, unfortunately, we have already booked our stay this time around so will look at that one in the future. Happy travels 😊
So you didn’t turn the gas back on!! Fridge?? Please advise, we use the tunnel, so only 30 minutes with the gas off. Ace channel 😀
Hi, thank you very much we really appreciate it. 😊

Hi Really good vlog. Not been on Ferry Looking forward to seeing your adventures over the next few weeks.Hope you have a fantastic holiday. Just 1 thing where did you fill up on the gas ?
Hi, thank you very much and hopefully you enjoy the adventures 😊 We filled up at a garage called Gerrish Fuels just outside Andover. Happy travels 😊
Don’t do what I did and put the room card in the back of my phone in the case as it stops it from working , oops 😜. Happy holidays
Thank you and gladly we didn’t do the same thing, thanks for the heads up for our return journey 😊🙌 Happy travels 😊
Every time I do the same. I think I exchanged it 3 times last time. Beats me why they can’t use a proper RFID tag rather than magnetic strip cards.
