You may have seen this in the news "Brittany Ferries blames Brexit for huge drop in passengers", as if worldwide energy prices, inflation, Ukraine and the "sinking below the Dollar" Euro are all our fault.
This is just a heads up, in yet more strange times. I doubt that Dover will be affected, but it looks like there may be problems/cancellations on the longer routes. But then it may all be over before Christmas

I blamed Brexit for our kettle blowing up after I forgot to put any water in it and left the lid open. Watching a mountain stage of the TdF on the tele at the time so thought I had a reasonable excuse, think I got away with it.
We will be going DFDS next June, if we get a camping pitch that is, and that will be on the Sunday before the race. They've put a couple of new boats on the Dover Calais route, which have been uncrowded the three times we've been across and back recently.

It could be down to what Brittany Ferries are charging.......
For what they charge for a car and caravan, you can have a fortnight for two in Benidorm.The recent EU rules on emissions, means that they can't use ordinary ship oil as its full of sulphur (now you know where it went when they made low-sulphur diesel), so they've bought new boats/installed catalysts/converted to LPG etc which with Covid means they've had a really hard time. P&O gave up on the long crossings over 10 years ago, but Britney is a real survivor
Brittany Ferries have good routes but the timetables suck and the Fastcraft is limited to certain ports, I have given up with them the last few years and now use P&O Dover Calais, If you plan on going back and forth to France often its worth asking for their season ticket prices for 4 crossings or more. The P&O service is not what it was since the sacking of ships crews, it takes longer loading and unloading and restaurant service has now been replaced with a club lounge with additional supplement, its ok but I preferred it how it was.
Even Driving an 8ltr V10 its still cheaper to drive from Dover to Le mans than pay the stupid prices Brittany Ferries charge!
