Route guide

Plan your ferry from Santander to Rosslare

The Santander to Rosslare crossing links Santander in Spain with Rosslare in Ireland.

For a departure from Santander, start by locating the ferry terminal and checking how to reach the correct boarding point. Santander’s ferry terminal is close to the city waterfront, with road access towards the A8 and A67 corridors for Cantabria, Asturias, Bilbao and central Spain.

On the other side of the crossing, Rosslare is your arrival port. Rosslare Harbour is well connected by road and rail, while a car is useful for exploring beaches and the wider County Wexford coast.

Compare the Santander departure and Rosslare arrival on the same dated itinerary. Sailing times and intermediate calls can differ between directions, so use the Santander to Rosslare result when planning your trip rather than assuming the outward timetable applies in reverse.

Check the total cost for everyone travelling, including any vehicle, reserved seat, cabin or other option offered. A later arrival in Rosslare may affect your next connection or accommodation, so compare the whole journey as well as the fare.
