Ferry Costs 2023

[ronk]

I’ve normally booked my ferry crossing to Europe by this time for the annual Germany Netherlands trip - however the medics are testing me so I can’t book the ferry and also retain valid medical insurance - I’m too old to risk going without

In the hope I get the ok from my current round of medical tests sometime soon, I’ve started to look at this years prices

We always go DFDS from the Tyne and travel in their commodore + cabins, I‘m way too old to rough it these days - however the price has gone up to £1400 and I feel like they are ripping me off!

I’ve started to look at P&O from Hull . Has anyone used that crossing recently and used their upgraded cabin offerings?

It’s currently looking like circa £500 less for the crossing and a 140mile Drive to the port of Hull

I am not familiar with the ferries as I take the Tunnel, but prices for that has also doubled. They really are tying to catch up on the covid years losses

Out of curiosity I’ve just looked at the crossing we did last year for the same date in September it’s £15 cheaper this September compared to last year. That’s Brittany Ferries Santander to Plymouth.

Re your query I’d be driving the 2 hrs and saving the £500

Without a doubt!

I don’t mind the long trip to the port going out but detest it coming home.
The Hull crossing is looking good - it’s only 140miles and if the onboard facilities are ok I will probably give them a try this year (Providing I get the ok from the medics of course)
