Homeward Bound

Last few steps

After the intense trekking round the Enclos Paroissal we finally set out for the final leg of your journey to Roscoff and the ferry home. First to St. Pol de Leon and a super U; a pause at Rosscoff beach and a cool drive through the town to reach the boat in plenty of time

On Board

What a super boat Irish Ferries Oscar Wilde is! An entire deck of quality attention from a smart up market restaurant, a steak-house, a regular self-service cafeteria, a coffee bar and a pair of cocktail lounges at either end. There are a few TV or video feeds but they are easy to avoid in a selection of comfy seats. Plus there is a cinema, a sun-deck and for cheap-skates like us, several rooms of pullman type seats (reserved seats) as alternatives to cabins.
