Success story
"
Steven,
Commercial Ports & Ship Project Development Manager
My adventure at Brittany Ferries began in 2015 with a year’s work experience, after which I had the opportunity to sign my first permanent contract! 10 years later, I’m now responsible for developing commercial projects within the Ports & Bords experience department. I’ve had the opportunity to work on a number of exciting projects over the last few years, most notably the launch of 5 new ships! It’s a very rewarding experience in a company with a human face!

Patrice,
Head of Catering and Bars
I’ve always had two passions: cooking and the sea. It’s been 20 years since I left the “classic” restaurant business and set sail for a new life. Delighting a floating city is our mission, it’s my passion.

Alejandra,
Stewardess on board the Pont-Aven
There are two things I really enjoy about working on board: the diversity of the assignments, which gives me a 360° view of the hotel and restaurant industry, and the fact that I feel like part of a big family.
