We have always prided ourselves on customer service and, over the last year, we have also worked very hard to create a user friendly and attractive website for our customers – we’re delighted that our efforts have been recognised.
The eDigitalResearch study is conducted using a mystery shopping panel who had to use their own computers and internet connections to gage how most consumers would use the website instead of the using laboratory type conditions which may give an unfair evaluation. This allows not only a ‘real’ experience, but also an excellent way to check a websites usability and functionality for people booking online across the country.
With SeaFrance operating up to 15 Dover to Calais ferry crossing a day, it’s easy to see why they are not only one of the busiest, but also one of the quickest ways to get to France from the UK.

SeaFrance Unaffected by Volcano Ash Clouds!
Now that is a title text I didn’t think I’d ever be writing! As most of you are aware, the volcanic ash that has put a halt to all airport traffic in the UK has caused no end of disruption to many people’s travel plans. In fact my poor friend has had to cancel a weekend in Paris due to the flight problems, but just because the airports aren’t working, doesn’t mean you can’t leave the country.
SeaFrance Ferries are now taking foot passengers until lunchtime on Saturday 17th April 2010 alongside the usual traffic on their Dover to Calais ferries, whilst P&O Ferries bookings have gone through the roof since the volcanic ash created this back log of delays for disgruntled airspace passengers. It’s simple to book and with ferry crossings at less than 2 hours, you’ll be out of the UK in no time at all.
There’s plenty of space available at the moment, so if you need to get to France in a rush, this could be the only way out of the country for the time being. Rumours of submarines being chartered are at the moment unfounded, but not beyond the realms of possibility!
