We've just booked our Dover - France for the summer. We were restricted on the crossing dates, since we've pre-booked our campsite in Garda, and I / we have to work around the holidays.
P&O, SeaFrance and NorfolkLine were all up around £140 - £160. We've booked on SpeedFerries (large vehicle, up to 7m long and 2.9m high) for £89.60.

It came as a flyer, with January's CC magazine - not read it fully yet, and not currently at home.
Price was £46 each way, for car+caravan, then it said MHs go even cheaper, take £20 off! (admittedly, I need to read small print, to see if it's £20 each way, or £20 for round trip)
From memory, it covered most of the year as well, excluding a couple of peak months.
dbh I have the same flyer, its for the 2am sailing and 2,4am return monday-friday only. Plus for us £30 for the cat and £52.50 for length, less £20 for being a motorhome, so still £154.50, for £10 more I go at a much more sensible hour (to me ) with P&O.

Apart from pushing your luck with 2.24m width, Gerald, believe me that if you have a full boat, you'd really wish you had gone elsewhere. I'll leave playing sardines to sardines.

Found Speed Ferries on this site and just looked up price from Dover to Boulougne return going middle of May coming back beginning of June £68 return as they have discount at moment. Has anyone used these before? Seems cheap to me and a quick crossing.
Hi Anne and George
The Speed Ferries were 2m width restriction and 2.75high I think, or could be 2.95, I know we never qualified.... and they used to take a Hymer Tramp a friend has, but then said 2.0m dead width and stopped him going, yet he could get on and off.....
So do check you fit their criteria, as I gather you have to do a turn and it is tight.
Likewise we used Norfolk with the old boats, preferred them to be honest and as others have said their prices went up with the new ones....and we had both P&O at £46 and Sea France at £48 return in May and then August last year....
We tended to sail around 6-7pm and back 7-8am...

Hi Olley - yes, P&O seems the best deal for your set up. I agree that £10 isn't enough of a saving to outweigh the funny travel times.
For us (shorter van and no cat) Norfolk Lines looks a good deal, although we will price up P&O as well.
