Ferry bargains UK - France
« on: 10 May 2011, 19:48:28 »

Hi all

Just wondered if anyone knows of any good ferry bargains going from the UK into France?

Prefer Portsmouth - Caen but Brittany appear to be the only operator running the route and they are £350+.........!!

Looking around I think I can get Dover - Calais for £140, and Portsmouth - Le Havre for £190

Staying in Normandy for a week in August, family camping and all that jazz......

Wondered if any OOFer can recommend somewhere to me or has any ferry discount codes.......??

Cheers

Martyn

If you do Tesco Clubcard vouchers you can exchange these 3 for 1 for some ferry operators..

They tend to get a bit grumpy if you do it from this end now though... Mind you, as long as you booked the return on the foreign website it might be OK :-/

Just booked a fully refundable open return Dover to Calais in August for  £99, its a a company based in Dover using Sea France, but discounted. Its also listed on ebay 270746396827. Seems good value to me, after hunting around, but best value is Tesco Vouchers with Eurohole :).
