While most travellers on ferry operator DFDS’ Dover to France routes book just four to six weeks before they travel, those with firm plans to holiday in France in 2025 could secure substantial savings by booking before the end of January. 




Ireland to France bookings – 20 per cent off


For a getaway in Northern Europe from Ireland, there is 20 per cent off the vehicle and cabin price for crossings in a standard car or on a motorcycle on the Rosslare-Dunkirk route. All meals onboard are included in the price. Book by 31 January for travel between 6 January and 15 December 2025 and save up to €180 on a return trip.


Prices on this route include up to four people travelling in a car and pet cabins are available, but availability is likely to be limited for those booking shortly before they travel.


TIP: Travel on a Tuesday or Wednesday from Rosslare for the best fare.


DFDS offers up to five sailings per week on its overnight Rosslare-Dunkirk service, with crossing times taking 24 hours. 


CHECK & BOOK


Newhaven to Normandy route


On the Newhaven-Dieppe route fares start from £55 for a car and two people each way for those booking by 4 January 2025 for travel from 7 January until 30 April 2025 and from 1 October to 15 December 2025.


Campervanners, caravanners and motorhome owners can travel for the same price as a car on Saturday morning sailings from Newhaven to Dieppe between 1 May and 30 September 2025. Book by 4 January 2025 to secure a crossing at this special fare. 


TIP: For the lowest prices on this route, the best time to travel is midweek, when sailings tend to be quieter.


There are two sailings per day on the Newhaven to Dieppe route until 1 May 2025, increasing to three per day during the summer season. Crossings times are four hours.


Dover to France


For the ultimate flexible travel option book on the Dover to Calais or Dover to Dunkirk services, with up to 54 sailings per day. A 15 per cent discount off standard fares is available when travelling by car and booking before 5 January. The offer applies for travel from 1 January to 22 December 2025.


TIP: Travel in the afternoon from Dover or early morning on return crossings from Calais and Dunkirk to secure the best price. There are extra savings to be made on departures between 23.59 and 06.00.
