MrCanary Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Somebody on here said that once the cheap Dover to Boulogne crossings finished, P&O and SeaFrance would put their prices up...Well, they've done that alright...A similar return crossing between Dover and Calais that I made for £50 in October is now about £100 with both of them!Bring back Speedferries!

Pierre ZFP Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 You could maybe try Norfolk Lines. Ok its a bit longer trip and you end up in Dunkerque but much cheaper than the other 2 companies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nearly Retired (I am now) Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Try this one which I mentioned very recently in the Good Deals Section. It has just worked fine for me at £40 return. Dover - Calais £40 Return This may be useful to someone. I have just booked SeaFrance through ferrycheap.com The best bit: from Only £40 Return, for a car and 5 passengers Valid Fridays, Saturday and Sundays too. Travel from Dover and Calais Frequent sailings * The boring bit: All bookings must be made online by 30th November 2010. Telephone bookings subject to a £10 booking fee. A £15 supplement per car each way will apply on all sailings during the period 17th December 2010 to 4th January 2011 Offer applies to Car and up to 5 Passengers. Motorhomes and towed vehicle available at a supplement, price on application.. Non refundable, but amendable at £15 each way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nearly Retired (I am now) Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Mel,I am confused. I just tried a couple of random dates on PO Dover - Calais and sailing at reasonable times. I am getting £50 plus a couple of quid surcharge for credit card. Where's the £100 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrCanary Posted November 22, 2010 Author Share Posted November 22, 2010 First week in January, NR...From memory, SeaFrance was £95 and P&O £107 or thereabouts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nearly Retired (I am now) Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Mel, you're not wrong. January does seem to be a bit of an odd time to lift prices.It looks like the ferrycheap/SeaFrance offer, which is for sailings up to 15th April might well be for you. Just book by 30th Nov.http://www.ferrycheap.com/seafrance-offer.aspPS If they go bust before your intended sailing date you will have only lost £40 - I'd give it a go.
