It’s Ferry Fortnight and there are some great deals on offer.
Book before midnight on May 20 for savings on ferry crossings to France, Scotland, Amsterdam, Isle of Man, Isles of Scilly, Isle of Wight and Ireland.
The 2017 Discover Ferries’ National Ferry Fortnight campaign theme is Ferry Together –encouraging family and friends to spend more time together.
This follows research showing how little quality time families are spending together due to their hectic modern life. The average family spends just three weeks of real quality time together each year and just 36 minutes on the average weekday.
Bill Gibbons Discover Ferries director said: “Our research shows just how incredibly important every second of holiday time is in our busy lives. Almost half the people we surveyed said their whole holiday counts as quality time together.
“Our members do their utmost to make the ferry journey the very start of the family holiday experience. Unlike a plane where you’re strapped in alongside each other in front of computer screens, a ferry journey gives people time to stretch their legs, eat a meal together or watch wildlife together. National Ferry Fortnight will be a celebration of ways to spend that treasured time together.”
