I Wanna code for Wightlink ferries please

Hi,
just looked on their site for a crossing to I.O.W in April with a car and they have quoted £119 return fare:eek: so does anyone have a code or any direction to where I can obtain a discount please. I seem to remember only paying about £50 before.

Any help gratefully appreciated.

    If you have any tesco deals vouchers these can be used for wightlink tickets.

    Vary the time of travel as this can alter the price a lot during the day. Also look at their special offers.

  • Wightlink to my knowledge have never gave away any codes BUT
    can I recommend Red Funnel ferries to the Isle Of Wight.
    Red Funnel goes to East Cowes (Not Far) from Southhampton.

    Southamptons not far from Portsmouth because I remember on one occassion ending up in Southampton instead of Portsmouth :rotfl:

    Red funnel saved us £80 ! ! ! on the same time/dates/people

  • yes please if you would Wightarts. We are travelling at the beginning of April so would need to book by the end of March if any offers come up before then.

    and in the meantime I shall keep checking their website.

    Many thanks

    I'm wanting to travel to the Isle of Wight in late April. Are there are discount codes in the local press yet?!

    I'd prefer to go Portsmouth -> Fishbourne since we're driving in from the Portsmouth side and we're staying nearer to Fishbourne than Cowes. I suppose if it doesn't take too long to drive to Southampton instead, then we could do that.

    Thanks in advance.

  • Any news on any offers? Ferry prices right now are awful. Plus Red Funnel appear to be stuck on a 2 boat service now?
