  • "Relocating to Guernsey "

    Definitely the best way to arrive in Guernsey. Beautiful views of Sark and Herm and a real sense of arrival in historic St Peter Port. My brand new Mini Cooper arrived safely with me. Lots of space on the vehicle decks and easy to navigate. I absolutely recommend getting a cabin irrespective of the time of crossing. Comfortable berths with good bedding, tv and spacious ensuite. Exceeded expectations and made the whole experience very efficient as I was able to get work done too.

  • "Nice ferry but tardy!"

    The facilities on the ferry were pretty good, recliner seats in the quiet lounge at the front on the way out and a four berth cabin coming back. Food was also quite good and reasonably priced. However ferry was about 35 mins late leaving Portsmouth and therefore arrived in Jersey late. Got a text on the afternoon we were due to come back saying that ferry would be 80 mins late in leaving Jersey so that messed up the plans a bit, however arrived in Portsmouth at about the scheduled time.

  • "Caravan/Camper Crossing to Cherbourg"

    My wife and I traveled in 2015 with our car and caravan between Portsmouth and Cherbourg as arranged by the Caravan Club. This was a very good value crossing and very comfortable. We chose to pay the £5.00 extra for the quiet lounge. This year we took a campervan rather than a caravan and also had an excellent trip. We would be prepared to recommend this crossing.

  • "Good value"

    This crossing was good value, compared with other ferry companies offering the same route on the same day. Just be aware that Commodore Clipper is not a mini cruise ship, it is a functional ferry which is why I suspect it can offer lower prices. We would use again if the crossing dates and times suit our plans.

  • "Excellent service."

    We've crossed the channel by ferry hundreds of times with practically every company available but this was our first with Condor. It definitely won't be our last. A clean ship, cheerful, friendly & efficient staff, good quality food and great value cabins/quiet lounges. We will book for next summer as soon as the crossing becomes available.

    We took the ferry from Portsmouth to Jersey and returned via the fast ferry to Poole. Both services were efficient, the ship's were clean and comfortable and the staff friendly and helpful. I would use the service again.

  • "Great trip"

    For the money this was a great little trip with our camper van. No frills but we did not want that for this short crossing. On and off the boat very quick, all staff very helpful and we parked on the deck and could watch our camper from the bar area. Excellent value for money at £140 return.

  • "Recent December Trip"

    I was moved from my booking from Portsmouth to Poole but despite one engine out on the ferry, I had a pleasant trip which was comfortable and I enjoyed it as usual. Can't complain at all; staff through all the changes excellent and kept me well informed. Think the reputation condor has at the moment is undeserved and if only they could control the weather their service would be fine.

  • "Very relaxing crossing"

    Took a while to get on board but the staff were really helpful and friendly. We booked reclining chairs in the quiet lounge - excellent for a 5 hour crossing! Nice and compact with all services right where we needed them - recliners, loos, food, shop. Food was good and service excellent. Loos were clean. Helped by a very calm crossing and travel bands, it was great to be able to easily go out on deck. Only criticism if any is the central seating area was far too hot and the crossing seemed very slow - but I got to read my book!
