Brittany Ferries Sees Ireland-Spain Passenger Numbers More than Double

Brittany Ferries more than doubled its number of passengers travelling between Ireland and Spain, last year, new figures from the ferry company show.

The surge in volumes followed the re-scheduling of the company’s newest cruise ferry Salamanca on the Rosslare-Bilbao route. It’s also just 5 years since the first-ever seaborne link connecting Ireland with Spain was opened. 

In total 57,000 passengers made the voyage across the Irish Sea and Bay of Biscay, a 116% increase compared with 2022.
