I've just had an invitation from DFDS / LD Lines to try their new Dover to Calais service which they are starting on February 17th:
We are delighted to announce that a DFDS Seaways and LD Lines joint initiative will launch a new Dover-Calais ferry service, starting 17 February this year.
To celebrate the arrival of our new route, we're offering these fantastic introductory fares for a car and up to 4 people.
Book by 14 February, using ^offer code DC12, for travel on the Dover-Calais route between 17 February and 13 December 2012 for just £29* each way during low season† dates, or for £39* each way during peak season† dates. You can even make a free amendment to your booking before 30 June 2012.
Space is limited – so make sure you are one of the first people to try out our new ferry service into Calais!
So..perhaps P&O might have to peg their summer fares when they have competition on the route ?
I recently checked the prices for our trip later this year.
My van is 3.05 m and 5.45 m long.
P & O in night time £119.00
Eurostar £132.00
DFDS (Dover/Dunkirk) £64.00
All are return price
All are travelling through the night at various times and although I can get a slight discount with P & O and Eurostar through the C & CC, it couldn't match the £64.00 with DFDS.
Any guesses who got my business this year?
Thanks Trevor; I haven't been reading the SeaFrance post beyond the first few so missed this.
We parted brass rags with DFDS after the last time we used them this time last year so they won't be the first company we'd go to. Shame; Norfolkline were good and always the cheapest crossing via Dunkirk.
are they using the SF ships? Was the story about Eurotunnel buying 3 of the SF ships just a red herring? (see the running thread on the SF troubles)

You could do even better by booking DFDS with Caravan Club, £29 each way depending on which sailing you choose.
and you can get quotes of fares - Mh's the same a s cars/.....

Well looks like p&o again for me...
Just been to check a 1 way crossing for when we come back in March..
DFDS during daytime and only 2 sailings 89 euro...
P&O several sailing options £44..

I would rather swim than go with DFDS. Last crossing had over flowing toilets, waiter service restaurant closed, food that really, well, oh forget it.
P&O or the tunnel.
The DFDS crossing was free by the way and even if another free one came my way, I would refuse it.
P&O are usually cheaper for those that like to travel and sensible o clock rather than night crossings. I have paid as little as £31.50 one way for a 9 metre motorhome.
