The French shipping company said it had nearly 189,000 passengers booked to travel on its summer 2022 services by the end of October – a 48% rise on the same booking period in 2019 for summer 2020 departures before the pandemic struck.
Brittany’s UK to France services saw a 40% rise for next summer, while UK-Spain passengers were up by 35% on two years ago. France-Ireland reservations also increased by 234% over the same period.
The boost in passenger numbers comes after Brittany received a grant of €45 million from the French government to compensate for the disruption caused by travel restrictions imposed during the pandemic.
