Buy all your VW California Accessories at the Club Shop Visit Shop
If you’re a member of the CandMC Club or CandC Club I believe you can get a worthwhile discount booking through them.
Unfortunately no simple answer. Try both sites together. The offers vary and change regularly. I keep two different browser windows (sometimes even three) open and search both in parallel and pick.
Book direct as its normally easier to amend the booking
‘though, with the new CandMC website, the ship may sail while you wait in the queue for the website’
If you can find someone with a Brittany Ferries membership they may let you get the 10% guest discount. That’s only for the vehicle and passengers not the cabin.
CAMC discount was effectively wiped out when we made a couple of changes. We will book direct next time.

Thanks for that, thought as much.
If you do book with BF direct carefully think about which option you take. We were glad we took the top option because with Covid we were able to move the holiday on twice . And the top option you can change your booking up to a couple of hours of sailing. I know people take out travel insurance for the unseen eventually but it’s better to be safe than sorry when paying high prices especially on the Spain crossing.
I had a problem with Ferries Direct a couple of years ago. I wouldn't use them again. They booked a ferry for me from Kristiansand to Hirshals. When I got to check I was told the van was a few mm to high and had to go on standby, then pay an extra £50 as a high vehicle, to get on the ferry. Ferries Direct knew what vehicle I had. I would book direct or via one of the aforementioned clubs.
Brittany Ferries do a scheme called Club Voyage. Its a membership arrangement but gives you big discount on multiple trips. If you go to france or spain more than once in a year, it is well worth the membership fee. Visit the Brittany Ferries website for details. There is a one off joining fee, but there after the annual cost is cheap.
Sign up for newsletters with BF. When we booked this year they upgraded us to the flexi-ticket free of charge! Just got to keep an eye on their website though.
If you fancy a commodore cabin even though quite expensive they sell out within a few days. We managed to get ours this time because so many people cancelled because of Covid. They are like gold dust.
can I use this code?
It can be beautiful and calm all the way or it can be horrendously rough. Nothing you can do about the weather. In all the years we have been going this route it’s probably been 70% calm and 30% rough.
As Ozzy Pete said it can be rough or calm unable to predict. However if you find the right tablets and stay in the middle of the ship or your room it is bearable. If I have a rough crossing I say never again but as soon as I get home I book again as driving though France is the only other option.
Thanks for the code, appreciate it.
