Weekly service with a 14 day transit time from Southampton or 21 days from Bristol.

Grimaldi RoRo vessels sail from Bristol and Southampton. You can deliver to either of these ports or we can arrange collection from your door. The Bristol sailing routes over Europe then returns to Southampton so whilst the vessel is the same the transit time is longer from Bristol.
