SeaFrance Ferries

I've been on Sea France ferries a few times now, and, lucky for me, its service is always consistent. Last weekend, me and my partner decided to go on an impulsive day trip to France, so late Saturday night, we booked returned ferry tickets to Calais from Dover. Booking the tickets was, in itself, a little bit of a nightmare if you take into account how many different companies are trying to sell you tickets for the same ferry, some more expensive than others, and often you have to fill out a form and then it'll tell you how much, so it can be time consuming if you're wanting to shop around. After looking at a few different sites, we ...  Read the complete review

One way of getting across the English Channel is to swim. People have done it, you know? You'll need to grease your body to keep the cold out; have a boat tracking you juuuuust in case and, of course, a penchant for swimming 22+ miles. Alternatively, you could try a Ferry, which is just what we did to get to our holiday destination of France a couple of weeks ago. The channel crossing market's been complicated in recent years with the addition of the Channel Tunnel (or La Manche if you stand at the top of *English castles in full battle gear hurling insults like "You Eengleesh pig dog.."). After all, rather than have hundreds of fathoms of ...  Read the complete review

See France, go with sea France This was the way we chose to travel to France we were going in holiday. We have travelled with Sea France previously and they keep sending us these cheap offers. We Booked our sailing about 4 months ago, we then realised we needed to change the date we sailed 3 weeks before we were due to go, so we phoned and changed departure dates easy no problems. The port and loading bay was easy to find in Dover we got there about 15 minutes before we were due to sail, they like you there 20 minutes before sailing time. There was a small queue we gave the ticket collector our ticket he gave us our return ticket ...  Read the complete review

Having travelled many times across the water to France by other operators and being very satisfied I decided it was only fair that we should try the only French operator.I wish we hadn't.It started off very well when were greeted at the car park by two nice smiling young ladies handing out brochures of the ferry on which we would be travelling.Very impressive as none of the other operators do that.But that was it, it all went pear shaped from then on.The people that guide you where to park on the ferry where not interested in doing the job.The ferry was filthy, no bins had been emptied for ages, trays and tables were dirty in the restaurant and staff in there were ...  Read the complete review

Seafrance, formed in 1996 when they dropped the Sealink agreement with Stena line, run a fleet of 3 passenger ferries from Dover to Calais, with a crossing time of 90 minutes. They claim to offer a piece of France from the moment you step on board. This is true, as their ships are well fitted with French decor, products and of course staff. Seafrance are good value if you take advantage of one of their many special offers throughout the year, like the early booking discounts in January and the recent Bastille day offer. On board service is good with English speaking staff and the options to pay in Francs/Euros Pounds etc, without a conversion ...  Read the complete review
