I did not know there was a ferry to Spain. Any ideas where i can get a list of operators and routes that go from the UK, i am after a full list of European destinations by ferry if there is one.

Is it specifically Ferries you're interested in? I've just received a promotional email from Eurostar

Explore the South of France from £44.50 one way

Eurostar or Eurotunnel? On the basis the OP is mentioning ferry I am guessing they are wanting to take their vehicle in which case it'd need to be the tunnel and they only do a shuttle run and dont take you any further than Calais

The list's getting shorter all the time. Used to be able get ferries to Norway, Sweden, Denmark but no more.

Off the top of my head, you can go to Holland, Belgium, France, Spain and Ireland. Plus obviously UK islands. Main ports are Newcastle, Hull, Harwich, Dover, Portsmouth, Plymouth, Holyhead.

Google ferry uk and you'll find the main companies plus lots of booking agents.

Doubt you'd get many good deals in August. You can get a 10% discount on Brittany Ferries if you know someone who's a member of their loyalty club - if not there a poster knightstyle here who offers his code so you could PM him.

Those fares relate to the Weekly London-Avignon summer rail service (runs on Saturdays).

Spain is Plymouth/Portsmouth to Bilbao/Santander. It's quite expensive, especially in the Summer, and takes 18 hours+ (operated by Brittany Ferries).

Brittany Ferries also operate "long" crossings from UK-France: Plymouth-Roscoff, Portsmouth-Caen/Cherbourg, etc.

From Dover there are P&O (to Calais), DFDS (to Calais/Dunkerque) and MyFerryLink (to Calais).

There is a complete list here:-
