Ferry prices

[otherclive]

I've been looking at various ferry option for early September. What surprised me is that Brittany Ferries Portsmouth Caen was £251, with Portsmouth Le Havre £289, but Dover Calais/Dunkerque via DFDS was £311. That was a surprise given its a very short crossing. These were all fully flexible prices, which given our track record on cancellations is essential.

It got me thinking wrt Dover to Calais/Dunkerque whether buying a ticket very close to departure times might offer any worthwhile savings. Any views

Have you checked out Newhaven-Dieppe? That's the way my lad goes when he goes to France.
