Children's pricing

Travelling with kids? Good news — it doesn't have to break the bank.

Children's discounts are applied automatically when you select the number of children during booking. Each child counts towards the cabin occupancy, so factor that in when choosing your cabin type.

Seasonal comparison

Prices by season

Prices fluctuate depending on when you travel. Low season offers the best value; peak summer and holiday weekends cost more but sell out faster. Here's a rough guide for a car + 2 adults, one way.

Season Months Car + 2 adults Foot passenger Campervan + 2
Low season Nov – Feb from approx. €274 from approx. €42 from approx. €350
Shoulder Mar – May, Oct from approx. €320 from approx. €55 from approx. €400
Peak season Jun – Sep approx. €294–506 from approx. €72 from approx. €480
Bank holidays Varies approx. €350–506 from approx. €65 from approx. €450
These are indicative ranges based on recent bookings. Actual prices depend on your exact dates, cabin choice, and how far in advance you book. Always check live prices for your dates.

Cabin options

Cabin supplements

The crossing is about 16–20 hours and runs overnight, so you'll want a cabin. The base fare gets you on board; the cabin is booked on top. Here's what to expect.

Ferry cabin with porthole window at night

Standard cabin (inside)

A comfortable en-suite cabin with bunk beds or twin beds. No window, but you'll be asleep anyway. These are the most affordable option and book up fastest.

Premium cabin (outside)

Same layout as standard but with a porthole or window. Worth it if you want to watch the sea at sunset before you sleep, or catch the coastline coming in.

Club class / Commodore

On the E-Flexer vessels (Galicia, Salamanca, Santoña) you can upgrade to a premium-tier cabin with a larger bed, better linens, complimentary breakfast, and access to a private lounge. That's where the best club-class experience sits on this route.

Cabin prices vary by ship, season, and occupancy. The Cotentin — the year-round RoPax mainstay since 2023 — has its own quirks: DUX luxury mattresses, Hansgrohe bathroom fittings, and air-conditioned cabins on Decks 8–9. There are no wheelchair-accessible staterooms on the Cotentin; if that's a requirement, pick one of the E-Flexer sailings.

How to get the best price

📅

Book well ahead

The cheapest fares are available months in advance. Summer crossings? Book by March if you can. Prices only go up as the sailing date gets closer.

📌

Travel midweek

Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday sailings are typically cheaper than Friday or Sunday departures. Same ship, same route, lower price.

Go off-season

November through February offers the lowest fares. France doesn't close for winter — and you'll have the roads (and the restaurants) to yourself.

🔍

Compare ships

Different ships on the same day can have different prices. The Cotentin (more freight-focused) often comes in cheaper than the Galicia or Salamanca.

💰

Skip the cabin upgrade

An inside cabin does the job. You're sleeping — you don't need a window. Save the upgrade money for a nice dinner in Normandy instead.
