I must be silly,

Everyone here goes on about booking their ferries for £50 return etc...  I have just been looking....  can I find them????   can I hell.

Someone please tell me the secret, cheapest so far is £115 for 10-15day return to calis.

HEEEEELLLPPPPP

Sea France £50 return. Booked 4 weeks ago for last 2 weeks in August travelling at the weekend.

depends where you're going

if to france you've probably had it with low cost deals as this is the busiest week of the year.

best bet for cheap france deal now is likely to be travelling in the early hours, otherwise if you're going east, try transeuropa ferries (to ostend) who stil have an offer on

I booked with SeaFrance, £50 each way, the Sped Ferries thing geat if you can book 6-7 months in advance as they only hads limited sailings, but SeaFrance was great deal.  Usually P&O will match anything you find too, try the phone thing with them too!

Used Norfolk Line last year and found them very good. They are a no frills trucking ferry company so you dont get all the shops, restaurants etc like you do with P&O and others. There is a cafe and the grub is well cooked, plenty of it and cheap, just like the truckers want it. There is also a big bar with tv and a lounge with panoramic view window. There was also a little cinema but it wasnt showing anything when we were on. We got to Dover 3 hours early and were put on the next ferry out with no bother. I  would recommend them. I would be using them again but I got a good deal with Sea France this year.

If you are heading north or east once on the continent try transeuropa ferries from ramsgate to ostend, i am going next month £62 return no restrictions, large motorhome, you have to register on their web site they do not advertise these prices

I just had a look at their website - fantastic prices!

We always book with Speedferries these days. They regularly have offers and ... I'm not really sure why ..... they manage to fill the car deck but have plenty of room for you to spread out in the lounges.

They can be pricier than £50 in the school holidays, but they've just closed a £50 offer for sailings after 5th Sepember. Shall I post here when they have offers? I think I did last time.
