Look for a kind soul on here who will give you their friends and family number from the BF club
That will knock 10% off the price of the crossing (but not the cabins etc)
or join the club for a £600 price it worth joining the club as its about £120 to join but you'll get £180 off
next years fee is then only £60 so it'll pay off

The Portsmouth/Cherbourg crossing is Sundays only as they use the Clipper for the Channel Islands routes Monday to Saturday. That offer is good value though.

We were in the same position as you last year and borrowed someone else's BF code and saved 10%.
Looking at the facts and figures this year one Plymouth Roscoff crossing makes it worth while joining Club Voyage, more so if you do the overnight with cabins as you get breakfast vouchers per person.
As Andy said, it gets better the second year as you pay a joining fee in year 1 only.
If you aren't sure then I'll gladly return the favour and share my code.

It's usually cheaper to go on the daytime sailings at 3 pm. In August on Wednesdays and Saturdays from Plymouth rather than on the overnight sailings. On that afternoon sailing you save again by not needing a cabin. The ship arrives late at Roscoff but there are places to stay overnight with a caravan. Of those two the mid week sailing will always be cheaper than the weekend.
There are also 8am. sailings from Plymouth on various days in the week, and they are usually cheaper than going overnight with a cabin. If you live too far away to get to Millbay for 7am loading then you could consider going there the night before and sleeping there at the port.

Why not drive further in UK, to Portsmouth and go with LD lines? Or Brittany Economie to be launched later in year, although I understand still more expensive than LD.

so I was hoping there may be things we can do in order to reduce this cost for next year.
