Ferryhopper Expands UK - Europe Travel with LeShuttle, Brittany Ferries and Red Funnel

Ferryhopper is expanding its UK network, opening up more routes between ports on the south coast and destinations in France, Spain, and the Isle of Wight via three new partnerships.

Travellers can now search and book LeShuttle's Channel Tunnel train service, selected Brittany Ferries routes, and Red Funnel's crossings to the Isle of Wight through Ferryhopper, making it easier to plan cross-Channel, UK–Spain and island journeys, particularly when travelling with a vehicle.

Already the leading ferry booking platform in the Mediterranean, the new partnerships represent an important step in Ferryhopper's continued international growth as it extends its coverage beyond its established Mediterranean network, further strengthening its presence across the UK and Western Europe.

Christos Spatharakis, CEO and Co-Founder of Ferryhopper, said: “By welcoming LeShuttle, Brittany Ferries and Red Funnel to our platform, we are giving travellers more ways to plan and book their journeys across the UK and Europe. Whether they are driving to France for the weekend, taking the family further into Spain or crossing to the Isle of Wight, they can discover, compare and book their journey in one place. This is just the beginning of what we want to build across Europe.”
