Cheap Ferry Deals

You can often get the cheapest ferry tickets for Tuesday and Wednesday crossings as the tend to be less popular days to travel on. Morning sailings can be more expensive than afternoon sailings.

Booking well in advance gives you the best chance to benefit from cheaper tickets. Most offers are for advance bookings as it helps operators to manage capacity and cash flow. The closer you book to the travel date, the more you’re likely to pay (in a similar way to airline tickets).

Dover to Calais is the most cost effective way to travel by ferry to France, especially in you live in the south of England. Other routes such as the Newhaven to Dieppe crossing offer great value for money if you also take into account additional fuel savings for the distance saved on travelling within France.

Our top tips are to:
– Book well in advance
– Travel mid-week
– Travel during the afternoon/late evening
– Ditch the car if you won’t need it in France and travel as a foot passenger
