We have just worked out that we can go to France twice this year with Irish Ferries and it will cost not much more than one trip in July.

2 weeks in March/April for €338
2 weeks in August for €455

A total of €893

If we go in August for 2 weeks it is €806

Just need to convince the wife it is a good idea.

I have used the free offer from Irish Ferries this past few years. I don't use it in high season of July or August as it does carry a supplement but travelling outside of that period it is totally free. I also have on occassion asked Irish ferries to use the Swift ferry instead of the slow boat and they charged me €10 each way for admin costs. Didn't have any problems with them.

Declan, do you know if you can take any vehicle or must it be the same one as the original crossing?

The original documentation that I received from Irish Ferries actually stated the same car and I was concerned that a campervan would incur additional costs but they just insist that it is the same vehicle and I think the documentation now has been amended to reflect that.

for info although you lot probably already know, you can avail of hook-up on Irish Ferries FOC , just ask as you are booked in, or put on your hazard lights as you enter the boat, handy, if like us you have a fridge full of groceries before you leave.

also, the argument that driving down thro' England is as cheap as Rosslare-France, i dont think so.

return crossing P&O or Stena Belfast/Larne is best part of £400.00, dieel to Folkestone plus we usually went the tunnel which is great , costs best part of £200 return, you could nearly get a 5 start cabin for the same price with Irish Ferries, we used to always go England and stay at family as an overnight north of London, but the driving in England is so monotinous, so couple yrs back we tried our first Rosslare-France, just over 4 hrs takes us to Rosslare from the north.

I agree John, we have tried many routes to France over the last 15 years or so and believe Rosslare to France is the best option for us.

On the point of Hook up on the Ferry, I wasn't aware of that. Good info. Thanks
