Heading abroad with a bike is a brilliant way to travel. Just make sure the ferry knows you're bringing it.
Book the bike, not just yourself
Some sailings accept bicycles but require them to be declared. E-bikes, tandems and trailers can come with additional rules, so check the specific crossing.
Know where to check in
Cyclists may use a different entrance or boarding procedure from drivers and foot passengers. Read the instructions on your booking rather than guessing when you arrive.
Have the essentials handy
Take locks, documents, lights and anything you need onboard. Be ready to follow crew instructions about where to park or secure the bicycle.
Routes to compare
A few things you might be wondering
