Crossing the English Channel

Once an expensive element of a holiday in Spain, the price of channel crossings have been slashed thanks to competition for the likes of Speed Ferries and Norfolk Line.

Prices still vary substantially between companies depending on dates and crossing times, and it is advisable to check them all out or use a broker (see right). Crossing companies are:

Eurotunnel

- Book in October for the following year when half price offers are available. Fast & reasonably priced.

Brittany Ferries (from Portsmouth, Poole & Plymouth to Caen, Cherbourg, St Malo, Roscoff & Santander) When traveling from the south or southwest coast, these crossing can save hundreds of miles on Autoroute driving.

Norfolk Line (from Dover to Dunkerque) offers great savings over the more well-known options. They mainly provide crossings for lorries and no coaches so the facilities are fairly basic. Landing in Dunkerque adds around 25 miles to the French leg of the journey.

P & O Ferries offer Dover to Calais and Portsmouth to Le Havre, Cherburg & Bilbao crossings. By buying £1,000 of stock in P&O, they offer ed 50% reductions in all fares for subsequent years. This was concessionary, and has been withdrawn The benefit had been in operation for years.

Stena Line (from Harwich to Hook of Holland). You will be going the wrong way for Spain, adding over 100 miles to the continental journey, but a possibility for eastern UK residents.

TransEuropa Ferries (from Ramsgate to Ostende. Adds a little to the continental journey, but can be competitively priced. A four hour voyage.

Euroferries - Ramsgate to BoulogneEuroferries start a Ramsgate (Kent) to Boulogne-Sur-Mer in the Spring of 2009, allowing foot passengers, cars and coaches a cost-effective alternative to Dover - Calais crossings.

LD Lines: The latest entry into cross channel ferry services, offering great value crossings between Dover and Bologne, Portsmouth & Rossiare and Le Havre, Newhaven and Dieppe.

Unfortunately, SpeedFerries.com, who operated a crossing (Dover to Boulogne) on a giant catamaran, has now entered Administration, but there are strong rumors of a new service replacing them. Re-visit this page very soon for latest news!
