After a year of the ‘credit crunch’, doom and gloom over the recession and strikes, delays and restrictions at airports and on the Eurotunnel people are returning to the good old faithful way to cross the channel on a ferry. Now it may not be as glamorous as a cruise holiday but you still get the same effect with a decent level of service on board for your money.
Currently ferry companies are desperate to fill ships and reduce prices to tempt more passengers aboard, you can now get a return trip to France for less than a meal out at a restaurant meaning you can easily get away for a break and enjoy the samples of France. Many of the newer ferries are much bigger and feel more like a cruise ship with great on board amenities. It’s also relatively cheap to take your car across which means you can explore much more of what France has to offer.
