Rip Off Ferries

[Felix]

Two adults Bike and inside room.

DFDS from Newcastle to Ijmuiden £1300

P&0 from Hull to Rotterdam £999


Both of them bastards before covid was around £350 to £400.

Looks like we and our Tesco clubcard points are heading south and jumping on a train or Irish Ferry.


Anywhere bike safe to stay about an hour from Dover??

I've paid around £650ish for a return trip Plymouth to Santander with a cabin on the bike in two weeks time.

You haven't mentioned the Daddy of them all - The Isle of Man Steam Racket.

Not my chosen route to Italy TBH but is that that bad? Never had to look as i have never fancied going.

[Pirahna]

I've been looking at a trip to Italy in September. The ferry from Barcelona to Civitavecchia (north of Rome), 2 people, 2 bikes, sharing a cabin is about €420 each way. I thought that was ok for 20 hour ferry trip.

We get 75% discount on all ferries and planes
It cost about 700€ return from Lanzarote to Cadiz.
That's car and ferry and posh cabin
And free food all the way

About 320€ with just bike

Isn't the Isle of Wight ferry the dearest per mile in all of Europe?

Probably Isle of Man during TT during TT fortnight

[Bustaspoke]

Isle of Man for up to 5 days is £150 return for bike & rider.I've never looked for TT week but it wouldn't surprise me to find it's double the price.
I detest the run to the channel ports from here (Lancashire),but Newhaven-Dieppe is less than £50 each way.We sailed back from Ouistreham to Portsmouth last month,I think that was £44.
A few times I've read of Scots getting the boat to Larne then running down through Ireland for the Rosslare ferry rather than ride to Dover etc

I read that as Ferrets.
I was expecting to hear about a rampage of angry mustelids.

The collective noun is a business of ferrets btw.

Angry mustelids you say….

[Le_Fromage_Grande]

How much is Harwich to the Hook, though I live not far from Harwich and it's quicker and nicer to get the Channel Tunnel and ride a bit more.

I paid £240 for Liverpool to Douglas return early May or late April. Me and monkey. Out on Saturday, in on Tuesday. If I was prepared to take late ferry getting in about 11pm it was quite a bit cheaper. If I rode to Heysham and back to Liverpool it was £140, but bollox to that on a monkey.

Also, some lads got the same ferrys as me both ways and paid £130, it's a fcuking racket for sure.

Pretty sure it's Belfast/Larne to Cairnryan.

Bike and rider is around £130 return and you can literally see Scotland from Larne.
