20% OFF CHANNEL FERRY FARES

Wine lovers heading for France can save 20% off their ferry fares thanks to a new arrangement between Hoverspeed and wine and travel website, winedrive.com.

The discount applies to all Hoverspeed public fares from Dover and Newhaven, including special offers and upgrades to first class. A code number needed to book the discount fares is on the Winedrive website.

Said David Spokes of Winedrive: "These special fares represent a major saving on the quickest Channel ferry service for wine lovers, who already have the advantage of buying their wine at vineyard prices."

Winedrive provides a virtual trip around more than 100 of the best French vineyards, with information about the owners, their wines and detailed directions to find them. It has more than 1,300 pages of guides to towns, history and French wine, with routes, driving and holiday hints, self-catering villas and hotels.

Hoverspeed's fleet of Seacat and Superseacat fast ferries give a journey that is all about speed, style and service. There's no faster sea crossing to France, with services from Dover to Calais and from Newhaven to Dieppe.
