Port of Dover supports National Ferry Fortnight

The Port of Dover will be supporting National Ferry Fortnight this month, which runs from 15th to 29th March 2014.

As the only port member of the Discover Ferries industry body, the Port of Dover has said it is committed to supporting its major ferry customers - P&O Ferries, DFDS Seaways and MyFerryLink - and helping to promote the great consumer choice and benefits of ferry travel available from Europe's busiest international ferry port.

This year's theme is raising awareness of how family friendly ferry travel is with no hidden costs, stress free crossings and great facilities for children and families.

Sean Chaffey, Marketing and Customer Relations Manager, Port of Dover, said: "It is great to get behind a campaign that really highlights why the Port, together with its ferry partners, represents the number one way of crossing the Channel. I am sure that there will be some great offers to further entice customers to return to Dover once again."

One big advantage of travelling by ferry from the Port of Dover is that you can take as much baggage as you can fit in your car and it is at no extra cost.

Bill Gibbons, Discover Ferries Director, said: "Free baggage is one of the great family competitive advantages of ferry travel - others include the freedom to walk around enjoying the ship's facilities and restaurants, great family value on fares, and the simplicity of driving on and then straight off at a port such as Dover which itself offers great facilities such as free customer Wifi and excellent customer service."
