Two-way fares from Britain quoted; (those in brackets day/short period returns). Supplementary charges applied to some sailings to offset fuel price rises. Payments for use of cabins and berths advised on web sites. Services good to end of 2009 or as marked.

On the fiercely competitive English Channel/La Manche and Irish Sea crossings, day/short period bargain fares are often advertised at short notice (check ferry lines, agents or our 'offers'). Inclusive train + ferry tickets can be bought from specialist rail agents. Coach + ferry tickets can be bought via credit card from National Express/ Eurolines .

c+d = car + driver; c+2 = car + up to two passengers including driver; c+all = car + all passengers incl. driver; +px = + each additional passenger; h = hour; d = day; n = night; wk = week; M, Tu, W etc=Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday etc.

NB: SailRail: for the non-car traveller, good-value rail plus ferry travel on the UK-Ireland Irish Sea routes can be found in the SailRail combined ticket package. SailRail brings together rail sevices that connect with ferry services at the coastal ports in a bid to offer a seamless travel alternative to the 'plane.

It is usually less expensive to buy tickets via the web.
