The Plymouth to Santander route is typically served by Brittany Ferries' flagship, the Pont-Aven, which offers a "cruise-ferry" experience that far exceeds standard cross-channel transport. Onboard facilities in 2026 include a heated indoor swimming pool (usually open May–September), two cinemas showing the latest releases, and a diverse range of dining options. Guests can choose from "Le Flora," an elegant à la carte restaurant, or "La Belle Angèle" for high-quality self-service meals. For entertainment, there is a large lounge bar with a stage for live bands, cabaret singers, and magic shows, alongside a separate quiet piano bar. Families benefit from dedicated children's play areas and a video games room. The ship also features a boutique shopping mall with duty-free luxury goods. For those seeking relaxation, there are spa treatment rooms and a wellness area. Accommodation ranges from standard 2-berth cabins to the "Commodore Class" suites, which feature private balconies, complimentary breakfast served in the cabin, and a dedicated lounge with panoramic sea views.
