Cheap Dover-Calais Ferry Deals discussion

rosebyanyothername

i have no car so I am still trying to find a cheap way to get kids their dream trip to euro disney. I would not mind ferry and train combo kind of trip. but most offers appear to be for car owners.

from previous threads on here, doing Disneyland Paris by public transport would be difficult

do you collect airmiles and / or tesco points ?

can exchange them for airmiles and use them for a package or just eurostar

eurostar is fab as you are straight to the resort

HI,
i WOULD LIKE TO BOOK THIS DEAL, FOR £23 FERRY AND DISNEYLAND TICKET. I WANT TO GO WITH MY HUBAND AND THREE KIDS. DO WE GET ONE DISNEYLAND TICKET OR FIVE? I ASK BECAUSE IT SAYS A DISNEYLAND TICKET? PLEASE COULD YOU HELP?!

Hi ssbg14284 welcome to the forum

It's one Adult ticket per booking. This is a hopper ticket which allows one to "hop" between the two parks.

You would need to purchase extra tickets for the others in your party.

According to their website, these can be purchased on the boat (at 15% discount) unless anyone knows or somewhere even cheaper.

can anyone tell me how and in what form you get the disney tickets we will be in paris at that time and want to visit Disney for one day, two adults with three children. would that be a cheaper way of buying the tickets? Are the tickets only valid on the day of travel? Do you print them with the ferry crossing voucher ? Thanks for any advice first time registered on threads today.

10 day trip.
54 GBP Rtn.
Out 4:15 Tuesday
Return 22:30 Thursday.
Brand new craft built of aluminium alloy. Part boat part Plane.
Two vehicle decks.
Cruises across at 30+ Knots.
Arrive further south after a one hour crossing.
Good for Paris and the (almost) toll free route to West & South West France and N.E/N.W. Spain (Costa Brave and Barcelona/San Sabastian). via Rouen to avoid the "have your front bumper off" Parisian style of traffic queue driving.

Inbuilt problems:
Dover: only one single file boarding ramp.
Cars have to drive through the truck & camper van area to get to the upper car deck area; so first on and last off means a 40 minute booking in time and a wait of (say) 20 minutes after docking.
"Small" boat size means wallowing in heavy seas - obviously less effected by weather than the former hovercraft crossings but it is not obvious how much of a storm would suspend crossings. (Those scared of the sea and subject to sea sickness should take the expensive boring tunnel)

Own Goals:
Slow booking in caused by only one booth manned by one clerk and a faulty running-out-of-toner printer (we were given the car in front's paper work). 15 minutes late on departure.
Small shop with very limited "tax free" stock - don't rely on buying cheap booze & cigs or those other presents traditional on cross channel boats.
Simple self service cafeteria food - you would probably do better at a road side chuck wagon.
Nicotine addicts can access a stern balcony over the wake.
There is a commercial lounge (don't know what this offers for commercial drivers).

The general feeling is one of being on a spacious double sized jumbo jet and the short crossing time makes up for the lack of facilities.
