jointerjohn Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Have just been surfing around for a return crossing to france probably dover -calais 13th june approx for three weeks, 7.5 mtr rapido, best price seems to be £95, can any one tell me ? is this the best price i am going to get. Got a reasonable (£200) return portsmouth -cherbourg, with condor but only allows you to input up to 6.5 mtrs, do they not take any thing longer? any advice welcome,thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JudgeMental Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 around £100 seems to be the going rate unless prepared to go middle of the nght, and then not that much cheaper.....I pay about 20% more to use the tunnel, a far convenient and better way to get across IMO :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Peter James Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Best price on the channel I got was P&O going out and DFDS coming back. Serafrance keep spamming me with special offers but they were still dearer than the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basil Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 If you are a CC member the £27 each way sailings are still available. So that is £54 return, not middle of the night either ours is middle of the day, so £95 is certainly not the best available. Keep getting e-mail offers for £29 and £31 from the usual carriers as well. Bas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pelmetman Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 I've started using Tesco for my fuel now so I can get the points :D.....You have to be careful though pulled into a Tesco Express today and because the garage part is Esso no points :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stantheman Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Basil's right. I just booked a return journey from Dover to Dunkirk through the Caravan Club. Norfolkline £54! Thought it was a mistake, but no. Cheaper than the Isle of Wight b****y ferry! Reasonable times too, 1400 hrs outbound and return. From Dover to Calais by Seafrance, also through CClub quoted £140!!!http://www.outandaboutlive.co.uk/forums/images/emoticons/icon_evil.gif >:-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way I read it not on the crossing wanted (13th June) nor on my crossing 22 May but yes, some crossings do have a £15 surcharge.

I checked with the Ferry operator and they confirmed that there was space. It appears that the CCC have an allocation and once used that's it. I have been assured by the CC that this is not the case with them but worth keeping in mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knaus Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Don't tell me about Isle of Wight Ferries. I live there and it is costing a lot more to cross to Portsmouth than it is Dover to Dunkirk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was booking my crossing with Stena Line (Stranraer-Belfast) using Tesco vouchers, I was told that they only had a limited number/allocation of these types of discounted crossings, which is what I assume the CC and CCC type of crossings are.

terry1956 Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 hi, just got back from france, we used norfolk line, cost 73.00 for hymer and car transporter trailer, around 32 feet overall. I think norfolk line is the only company to show their prices on the wed site, unlike the silly airline type pricing used by the other companys. We did use britney ferries from poole for the outward leg, as it was only the car, they wanted near 200 pounds one way, and over 700 pounds return with the motorhome etc. on the way out there was no more then 20 people on the ferry plus staff, and no lorries at all, makes one wonder why they don,t drop their silly prices. michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
