P&O Ferries

On a recent trip to Scotland, we opted to take the ferry across from Northern Ireland, as opposed to our usual choice of flying. Having priced around a little, with the cost of car hire over in Scotland on top of the flight and added taxes, it was as cheap for us to take our own car and go by boat, it also meant, I could throw in extra clothes/shoes etc etc. The choice of boat to Scotland from either the port of Larne or Belfast was limited to either Stena or P&O. P&O were marginally cheaper nad the crossing times suited us better. We ended up being booked onto the European Causeway P&O boat leaving from Larne to Cairnryn, costing us £188 for ...  Read the complete review

I have a holiday home in France and use P&O ferries a few times a year traveling from Dover to Calais. The crossing is about an 1 1/4 hours which suits me fine as I tend to get sea sick. I book my tickets on line which is very easy and just takes a few minutes. As it's only a short crossing the tickets are very reasonably priced - I get mine for £60 return however I do tend to travel at night, it will be more expensive for a day time crossing. Routes P&O ferries run four different routes to:- Dover - Calais Hull - Rotterdam Hull - Zeebrugge Portsmouth - Bilbao It may take longer to travel by ferry but you can ...  Read the complete review

We used P&O Ferries this August on the Dover-Calais crossing. One of my sons misunderstood when we said "ferry" and got exited about the small glittery things with wings, that he thought would be taking us on holiday. If only ... ** Booking ** I'd booked it through AirMiles (1000 airmiles + £9) which meant phoning AirMiles, trotting through all their questions and then being put through to P&O and doing it again. But it was a free call and they were all very friendly and helpful. ** Checking in ** You have to arrive 30 minutes before you ferry is due to leave, which gives you time to be late I think! The check-in process ...  Read the complete review

I have been using the services of P & O for many years now. It started when I was a student in the 90s', National Express coach from Leeds to Stranraer, and then onto the ferry as a foot passenger. I struggle to remember the length of time the coach took but it must have been vast as the car journey I take now with the whole family takes over 5 hours! With the discovery of cheap flights a few years back the whole ferry idea died a death, but now with the new hidden extra taxes from our favourite not so budget airlines, why not re-discover what a ferry can do for you! Now anyone who makes the journey to either Stranraer or Cairnryan from England will tell ...  Read the complete review

P&O Ferries (P&O) The first time I was on a P&O ferry was a couple of days ago, I got a small and fast ferry over to Cairnryan, Scotland. And a Large and Slow ferry back to Larne, Northern Ireland. I will write a review on them both. P&O Smaller Ferry... The ferry was designed for cars just, It was a smaller ferry and it was faster ferry! It had three decks of cars on it, and when you got onto the ferry it had two decks to it and a Smoking Area outside. The First deck had a shop and some chairs. On the second deck there was alot more chairs, and there was a food shop where you could buy Chicken, Roast Potatoes and many other ...  Read the complete review
