yes - Britanny ferries

http://www.brittany-ferries.co.uk/routes/portsmouth-caen

and you could probably get on ok, but it'll cost a fortune Rolling Eyes
I have given up trying to get a decent price from Pompey to France, we go via the tunnel or dover / calais, even though Pompey is only 45 minutes away

Lets you compare the prices for Dover and non-Dover routes if you select the "Compare Prices" tab instead of the "Book by Route" one.

It's then worth trying the ferry company's own site to see if the price is any better or booking through one of the clubs for a discount.

Hey there,

I was going to suggest Brittany Ferries too ... it is expensive though ... I would think you should book soon if you want to leave on a weekend but if you can go midweek it's not so busy ...

Cheapest Dover-Calais and it's about a 3 hour drive from Calais to Caen ... so depends on whether £400 on the ferry is better than a 6 hour return drive to Calais and a cheaper ferry ...

Very Happy

If the trip is 3 hours approximately from Calais, you might consider Norfolk Line:-

Dover/Calais 8m motorhome, 2 adults = £29 each way.

A pal of mine just booked £24 + £12 Fuel Surcharge and that was for a 6m Motorhome. SO £36 Return.

Try LD lines - Portsmouth - Le Havre overnight. We always use them and they are usually very reasonable.

Are you sure thats Norfolk Line? Can only see Dover/Dunkirk and an 8m Motorhome is £90 before you pay for the Crossing/Fuel Charge.

We have 6m Motorhome and usually pay £80ish return on P&O Dover/Calais. Similar price on Norfolk Line for us.

May I suggest you call camping & Caravan Club for a quote. I paid just £7 each way for 7.5m MH. Admitted, I booked well in advance on Sea France Dover Calais.
