Seafrance vs P&O
Heading out to the alps soon and have found that Seafrance is a lot cheaper to travel with than P&O this is with roof rack etc. Is there any particular reason why?
Has anyone travelled with Seafrance? what are they like?

Re: Seafrance vs P&O
Because Sea France are not part of rip off britain. I have used Sea France for many years and they have always been fine.newstylerocka wrote:Heading out to the alps soon and have found that Seafrance is a lot cheaper to travel with than P&O this is with roof rack etc. Is there any particular reason why?

Hi Dale
Make a holiday of it and go DFDS from Newcastle, saves that 750+ miles of English motorways, only about 70 miles further from the Alps on the other side( with cheaper fuel), have a few beers and a boogie and a good nights sleep on board and the best bit is on the way home drive off the boat and your home in 10 mins.
Have a good trip.

Definitely shop around. There are deals on all the time. I have ended up using Sea France every time as they have had the best deals for my camper van & roof rack. Don't know about smaller cars, though. In a lot of cases, height is the issue but as my van is over any height limit anyway, I just stack everything on the roof.
Sea France food is good. It is worth getting up to eat quickly, so we always get sorted on the quay for a coat and a ruck sack each. Then we can just park up and go to eat. Makes it easier with the kids as well.
Have a good trip.

I guess all the Dover operators do this. I've twice turned up early for SeaFrance (1 x Dover, 1 x Calais) and been offered the earlier sailing on checking in. Costs more if the earlier crossing is a higher-priced one, but that's fair enough.Adrian Cooper wrote:If they have space.

Sea France are certainly good - particularly if you happen to get one of the 2 (maybe 3 by now) newer 'super-ferries'.
