The Nation Radio Cruise returns for a festive two-night mini-cruise from Portsmouth to St Malo to explore its famous Christmas market!

Set sail with Brittany Ferries and make getting there all part of the fun. You’ll enjoy award-winning service and top-class facilities aboard the Saint-Malo, not to mention French chefs and friendly bilingual staff, all combining to create a truly French experience from the moment you arrive on board.

On board, comfort and accessibility have been at the forefront of the design. And, like all Brittany Ferries ships, Saint-Malo embodies the region from which she takes her name, reflecting images and influences from the town itself as well as bringing to life the identity and personality of modern-day Brittany.

This two-night gourmet cruise break from Portsmouth gives you the chance to enjoy a delicious three-course dinner on board and spend a full day in the beautiful walled town of St Malo! Browse independent boutiques, pick up unique gifts, sample Breton food and drink, and soak up the seasonal atmosphere of one of France's most characterful coastal cities, all without the cost of a hotel stay.

The old town of St Malo, known as Intra Muros (taken from an old Latin term meaning "within the city walls"), is an ancient walled city and the historic heart of this destination. Wander through its cobbled streets, lined with quaint cafés, unique boutiques, restaurants and inviting bars such as the legendary Bar de l'Univers. Soak up the atmosphere as you explore, immersing yourself in the timeless charm and history of St Malo. 

If you have time to explore beyond St Malo, the city is surrounded by other delightful destinations in Brittany that are definitely worth a visit, such as Cancale, Dinard and Mont-Saint-Michel. See below for details on upgrading to bring a car!
