I am looking to travel to Calais in mid-July for a day trip booze cruise.
Any ideas on where to get the best deal?

Thanks in advance.

Midweek or w/end

midweek most likely

I tend to travel with P&O ferries and if you book early enough you can get it for about £15 each way (some crossings show up as £10), bearing in mind the earlier you book the cheaper it will be (or that's what I found).

That's what I paid midweek in June (this coming June)

Kent Messenger have this offer on at the moment plus a free bottle of wine.
Just go to poferries.com\km or enter the code MK1 in the promotional code box on the P&O website.
There is only one day left to book but you can travel up till the 10th of November

Book this offer from today until 29th September 2011 and travel from tomorrow up to the 10th November 2011. £4 supplement applies to Overnight stays and a £2 supplement applies to afternoon day trips from 14th – 30th September 2011. Excludes 21st, 22nd, 29th and 30th October. Free bottle of Gallo Family Vineyards: California Red, White or Winemakers Seal Ros! - voucher will be issued at the port when you check in with your vehicle, and the wine must be collected on your outward crossing.

Slim chance, but does anyone know if P&O ferries will do a wine deal in February? I know it could be a stupid question, I'm aware of that, just pondering whether to book soon to go over for the day in February or wait til later and risk getting higher prices. It's only a midweek day, and before half term, but was wondering. I always book early to make sure I get good deals

Have you tried contacting them?

Actually that is probably the best thing to do, that will teach me for typing tired. Engage brain before typing I think

Had a peak at prices, they have put them up by a tenner, from £15 to £25

If is looking like after Xmas there could be an increase in French beer prices - they might be driving the booze cruisers business into Belgium, to join the tobacco sales?

The competition is hotting up again now that the "subsidised" loss making Sea France has passed away and the ships have been redistributed, mainly to Eurotunnel.
[There is a fuss about this but I think Eurotunnel is trying to protect its premium prices by having a bargain basement offer for the cheap end of the market. - like BT & Plusnet in the phone-broadband market.]
Expect more special offers especially after Xmas as the "cartel" tries to establish a pecking order again.
