Ferry Companies to offer Five Daily Crossings To France
Date: 01 Feb 2008 00:00 Source: Directferries.co.ukLD Lines and Transmanche Ferries have recently announced they will soon be providing a total of five crossings a day to France.
The sister companies, who operate cross channel ferry services out of Newhaven and Portsmouth to the Normandy Region of France, will begin the increased service in May.
Already, Transmanche Ferries provide three return crossings daily from Newhaven to Dieppe, and in the spring and summer (1st May to 30th September) these will be augmented by a daily crossing from Newhaven to Le Havre.
At the same time, LD Lines will continue to deliver their daily return crossing from Portsmouth to Le Havre.
All three routes are serviced by state of the art ferries which offer a high standard of comfort on a human scale.
Transmanche Ferries and LD Lines sail into two of the most interesting and striking of the French Channel ports.
Dieppe with its elegant architecture, fabulous seafood restaurants (scallops a speciality) and spectacular weekly market and Le Havre, with its busy port, long beach, designated a UNESCO world heritage site in 2005 for its remarkable, post-war concrete architecture.
Le Havre is also home to the striking Musee Malraux, a spectacular space housing, amongst others, Monet and Dufy paintings in a setting where you can get up close to them without the crowds.
From 1st May 2008 LD Lines and Transmanche Ferries will operate 5 crossings a day as follows:
(all times are local times)
Newhaven - Dieppe
Depart Newhaven: 01.00, 07.00 18.00 - crossing time 4 hours
