Hey folks! I'm planning my first ferry trip from the UK to Spain and can't decide which route would be best. I'm hearing a lot about different port options, like Portsmouth to Santander or Plymouth to Bilbao, and wondering which route might offer a good balance between journey time, cost, and comfort. I don’t mind an overnight ferry if it's a comfortable experience, but is one port or ferry line significantly better than the other? Any insights or recommendations from people who’ve done this?

I took the Portsmouth to Santander route last summer, and I'd say it's ideal if you prefer a shorter drive to the ferry port in the UK. The journey itself was smooth, and I was pleasantly surprised by the onboard facilities—good food options, a comfortable cabin, and even entertainment options if you're traveling with family. For those wondering about the options available, this site https://ferrytospain.co.uk/ breaks down the UK to Spain ferry routes really well, making it easy to compare journey times and costs. For example, if you're after a faster route, Portsmouth to Santander takes around 24 hours, while Plymouth to Bilbao might stretch to 32 hours but gives you a bit of a scenic cruise along the coast. Personally, I think the choice between routes often boils down to how much driving you're up for before boarding and whether the departure port’s schedule fits with your travel plans.

Interesting to hear everyone’s experiences! I think a lot depends on personal preference. For me, I’d pick Portsmouth to Santander if it means less time on the road and more time actually relaxing on the ferry. Either way, sounds like both routes have their own perks, and it’s really about finding the best fit for your travel needs.
