It’s coming home (without needing to self-isolate)
Final-ly, summer is back on, says Brittany Ferries
In response to statement by Transport Secretary Grant Shapps
“This is the news we have been waiting for all year,” said Brittany Ferries CEO Christophe Mathieu. “Finally, the storm clouds are lifting and the sun is beginning to shine. We expect an avalanche of demand in the weeks ahead and my message to our customers is clear: We have availability, so now is a great time to book a holiday and we can’t wait to serve you all.”
“Of course it won’t be quite so easy for some families, those with unvaccinated over-18s,” he added. “However, the progress the UK has made with its vaccination programme means that the vast majority are covered by the new rules. Self-isolation won’t apply for under-18s. So for us, and for the majority of families, today’s announcement will be great news.”

The following are examples of sail-and-stay vacations in the height of summer – for less than £300 per person (travel and accommodation included).
