Irish Ferries has launched a new Dover to Calais ferry route with fares starting from £69 per car – including up to nine passengers.
The new service launches on 29 June, and Irish Ferries is hoping to capitalise on interest from Brits eager to travel into Europe when Covid restrictions lift.
The recently-refurbished Isle of Inishmore ferry has been assigned to the route: it includes an upgraded Club Class lounge which offers seating with 360-degree views.
There’s also O’Flaherty’s bar, Boylan’s Brasserie and Café Lafayette.
Travellers can use free wifi, plenty of space is available outdoors, and there are dedicated and safe play areas for children.
Duty-free shopping is available – and Irish Ferries allows travellers to pre-order in advance with a ‘click and collect’ service.
The company says travelling by ferry gives holidaymakers much more flexibility: they can load up cars with unlimited luggage – and take pets along too.
Social distancing onboard is easy and, of course, there’s plenty of opportunity to grab 100 percent fresh air – simply by stepping outdoors.
The ferry crossing from Dover to Calais takes 90 minutes (compared to 35 minutes for the Channel Tunnel).
