Taking this new ferry, named Santona, is a leisurely way to end my two weeks in Spain. Run by brittany-ferries.co.uk, it's a 27-hour sail, and our tickets include carriage for my friend Phil's Mini Cooper, a four-berth cabin with ensuite bathroom - the shower is surprisingly powerful - and access to this lounge.
