Hi

Can anyone tell me if there are ever offers for Portsmouth to Caen crossings?

Thanks

If you're in the Caravan Club, then Yes.  Check our their prices, and having put your dates in, then check again including seven Camping Cheques.  Someone else in another forum has reported: 

I am booked on Portsmouth Caen afternoon sailing in April,  (it's important to take the afternoon sailing, as the caravan goes free) returning July, on a morning sailing (again the van goes free) with 7 camping cheques included at £330.  If I did not take the cheques it would be £358 so I am being paid £28 to accept £97 worth of cheques.

There are some offers on the Camping Cheque website, too - www.campingcheque.co.uk.

On both, you may have to play around with dates/times in order to get the best prices.

As I've said in lots of other posts, if you can't use the Camping Cheques, then they can be sold on forums such as this one, and you'lll probably be offered £10 each for them.  That makes the net cost of the ferry just £260.00 if you sell all seven Camping Cheques.

I think the afternoon out, early morning sailing back, are the only ones which attract a discount - which for us when we used the crossings was ideal.  It does mean either a very early start from a nearby campsite (we were at Chateau des Ormes) or a site in/around Caen itself or on the docks which is apparently possible too.
