Thibault Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 We have just received an email from LD Lines giving the new schedule for low/high season crossings between Newhaven and Dieppe.One new ship (Seven Sisters) has been put on the Newhaven-Le Havre run. Does anyone know if the remaining new ship will be doing all the crossings between Newhaven and Dieppe or will they keep one of the old ships?We are interested in going out overnight from Portsmouth to Le Havre, but would like to return via Dieppe, as the journey times are much quicker than the Le Havre route. However, bearing in mind the considerable problems in the past with the old ships/crew, we would much prefer to travel on the new ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 The Seven Sisters does one return trip per day to Le Havre and one to Dieppe. The Cote d'Albatre does two trips to Dieppe. The old ships (Sardinia Vera and Dieppe) are no longer being used. You can certainly go to Le Havre via Portsmouth one way and Newhaven the other, though do be aware that the Portsmouth Ship (Norman Spirit) is quite short of cabins, though it did have fully reclining seats and couchette berths added recently. I am not sure that the LD system allows to you use different routes as each leg of a return journey, like Brittany Ferries does, so you might need to book two singles.

Thibault Posted March 13, 2007 Author Share Posted March 13, 2007 Thanks, Will - on the ball as usual! Neither web site was clear about which ships were running and we had heard rumours that one of the old ships had been retained. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
