Norfolkline do Dover to Dunkirk.
Should be able to get a return for a little over £50
Takes an extra 30 mins, but time I have....money I dont.

The tunnel is never cheaper. A day return maybe similar, but a stay of longer will never be cheaper on the tunnel.
I think I've done 7 crossing this year, and not found them to be cheaper yet. Although I have used them twice as I had more cash when I was booking

Aye, i can't get a flight for under £250 each to bloody france/geneva.
So i thought sod it, i'll take the vRS. Will be cheaper.
The ferry was coming out at £178. I thought that was still quite a bit. When i used to do the occasional booze-cruise, it was about £50. OK, 10+ years ago

Nice one!

Around £100 return.

Used them last year and they were excellent, only a 50 minute crossing too!

1) The boat moves around a lot during choppy conditions....and I mean a lot.
2) If it's really bad it doesn't operate.

Done #1 quite a few times.
Just drink more stella and everything levels itself out.

Another vote for Norfolk line, all new fleet and nice big spaces to park cars in (less likely to get door dings!)
£19 each way
