Irish Ferries Launches 2027 France Summer Holiday Bookings with 20% Early Bird Offer

Are you hoping to get your 2027 family holiday sorted before the back-to-school rush? Irish Ferries 2027 France summer schedules are now available with an enticing 20% early booking offer.

Available until the end of September, the offer allows early bookers on Irish Ferries’ Dublin to Cherbourg route to secure their family’s 2027 reservation with a €300 deposit, while also enjoying first choice of sailings and cabins.

With this summer’s heatwave conditions top of mind, northern France offers an appealing alternative to busier and hotter southern European destinations for families looking for a summer escape with warm weather, sandy beaches and plenty of outdoor activities.

Just a scenic two-hour drive from Cherbourg port, the stunning Domaine des Ormes is located in Dol-de-Bretagne and nestled against the backdrop of Brittany’s coast and beaches. Families can enjoy golf, horse riding and a high-wire adventure course set in 400 acres of woodland, as well as five swimming pools. Saint-Malo is also nearby, offering a castle, museums and Le Grand Aquarium for the whole family to enjoy, not to mention delicious seafood.

For families keen to explore South Brittany, Bénodet offers the best of both worlds between land and sea, with activities ranging from treetop adventure parks to boat trips on the River Odet. Le Grand Métairie in Carnac is another popular option for families, with a mini farm, pool complex, waterslides, archery and even a zip wire. Further south, the beautiful Vendée offers more sun, sea, sand and adventure.

Elsewhere, the Charente-Maritime region stretches from the bustling old port of La Rochelle down to Royan and beyond, including Île d’Oléron, the largest island on the French Atlantic coast, and Île de Ré, both of which offer plenty of opportunities to explore by car, bike or on foot. Families can cross the Royan estuary before driving on to vineyards, forests and beaches along the west coast of France, with a wide choice of popular campsites to choose from.

Book before the end of September to secure 20%* off your family’s 2027 France holiday with Irish Ferries.
