Odd really.. I could never get a decent price from SeaFrance, hence my ( continuing ) love affair with DFDS ( Norfolk Line as was )

I have just revisited prices again as we only booked an outbound journey this time ( giving us more flexibility for our return )
These quotes are for midweek mid day crossing with a 8.4metre van and 3 meter trailer
DFDS £62.50
Chunell Cheapest time was £119.00 dearest time £164 ( for the same day )
Sorry but I just aint rich enough to hurl 60 beer tokens away just to save an hour or so !
( and Woman and I enjoy having a meal on the ferry, relaxing for a wee while and chatting.. Sets us up ready to 'get bizzy behind the wheel' when we get on 'tother side ! :thumb:
I should mention this is for March ( the outbound journey via DFDS was £47.00 ( £106 via the tunnel )

I used to cross by boat all the time, Sealink (as it was many years back ... old British Railways days).. Stenna line out of Ramsgate. Dover to Calais by all the operators at sometime and the Harwich to Hook Van Holland (Stenna Line as it is now)... Yes even DFDS on the Harwich to Esbjerg route (first job I had in the city was working for DFDS or Danish Seaways)... [HI]
But to be honest what with a dog the tunnel is so much easier and no sea sickness.
Fast journey, easy loading and unloading, do not need to leave the RV.. dog sitting beside me... and out of the train and on to the motorways...
[/HI]cost wise a tad more expensive (but still cheaper than the Newhaven to Dieppe route on Trans March etc., etc., and certainly a hell of a lot cheaper than Harwich to Hook van Holland .. nice ships and a decent bed, but to expensive and not a nice terminal either end.
Shame about SeaFrance and for all that used them.. I have in the past.. it's a ship .. nothing special on the crossing I made.. could have been P&O ... but I think I will stick to the tunnel from now on.

There's a limit to the size, can't remember it at the moment, but most appliance tanks are smaller than the main fuel tanks on an LPG powered vehicle.Because I am a dual fuel petrol/lpg I am not allowed on their trains, yet you guys with RVs with their lpg gas tanks for domestic fuel are. Can never understand this....

47kg maximum at the usual 80% full

Bob I agree I would much rather use the chunnell but they won't accept my motorhome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Because I am a dual fuel petrol/lpg I am not allowed on their trains, yet you guys with RVs with their lpg gas tanks for domestic fuel are. Can never understand this so I am afraid I will be forced to pay the increased ferry costs, now sea france has gone.

Norman, unless you go/went for the multi trip option, Sea France has always been ( at least for the past 11 years ) dearer than Norfolk Line as was ( as now DFDS )
Do you think with the demise of Sea France the other operators will increase their prices ?
Always possible I know but it does somewhat fly in the face of the basic DFDS business ethic
Depends when you go and what you are driving I consistently found SF to be the cheapest way to cross with an RV. Also found their winter prices to very often be the cheapest by quite a margin. The flexible ticket was very good too, changing dates as many times as you like without incurring a charge, suited me.
