UK residents are planning much cheaper holidays in the wake of the economic recession. Many of them simply stay at home, while others visit nearby countries. As one of the most affordable overseas options, ferry companies that cross the English Channel have been working overtime of late.
With just 24 miles between England and France, boats that ply the waters of the Dover Straights are the most popular and least expensive a tourist can find. Not to mention the fact that the trip only takes about an hour and a half.
At last count, there were three major ferry lines that go back and forth between Dover and Calais. There is even a ferry that takes the slightly longer route between Dover and Dunkirk. Which is the best for Bargain Holidays? We aren't in the habit of plugging one particular company, but due to the poor economy, we'll make an exception. While ferry prices are fairly consistent, the SeaFrance ferries that travel between Dover and Calais appear to be the most affordable.
Seats on these ferries start at only around 50 pounds and trips take just ninety minutes. But because the line offers bargain fares, they are often quite crowded, as in chock a block. So, make sure you reserve a seat as soon as humanly possible.
