Speedferries prices due to increase on Thursday
SpeedFerries have sent me a number of emails over the last couple of weeks advising me (as a valued customer) that they are due to increase their ferry prices on April 26th due to the recent diesel fuel price rises.
In the past they've not always stopped special offers or changed their prices on the day that they say they will, but if you are thinking of travelling to France this summer then it's worth booking as soon as possible.
If you can be certain about your travel dates then the Dover/Boulogne 'Basic ticket' can be unbeatable, costing as little as £18 for a crossing and these prices really are achievable, some of our August holiday guests paid just £25 which is still a bargain when compared to other ferry operators. Even if you don't know your precise dates the 'Flex tickets' are only £25 and as long as there's room on the boat you can change to any other sailing date.
A quick reminder that SpeedFerries have a number of different fare options, more details are on their website and in my March posting 'Speedferries announces new simpler fare structure and multi-crossing special offers':
Final little titbit, when we were crossing over at Easter I asked one of the crew if there was any news on them getting a second boat (this was rumoured some time ago). He said that it had been delayed but was due to come into service in June or July, operating on the same Dover/Boulogne route.
Judging by how sold out they were at Easter (no space on any of the outbound sailings from 30th April to 9th May!) there's certainly the public demand at peak periods for SpeedFerries to offer more crossings and run a second boat.
