Family fun holidays made more affordable with a 15% early booking offer

In these difficult economic times, it is good to know that family fun holidays in France and northern Spain are still great value with Brittany Ferries. All bookings made before the end of December this year are discounted by a generous 15% which, unlike most other holiday companies, applies even to school holiday periods.

And a deposit of only £30 per person secures a holiday with nothing further to pay until 60 days before departure, helping family finances even further.

Families will find plenty of fun-packed activities and entertainment at all locations, along with just about every kind of water-based sport imaginable.

Christiane Barker, General Manager Holidays comments: "As a mum, I know that, if the kids are happy, the parents are happy, and these resorts offer so much to keep children occupied. Also, the freedom and flexibility that comes with taking your own car on holiday is ideal - you can come and go as you please, and take so much more with you, from cycles to surfboards – even take your pet if you wish, with many locations being pet friendly".

All holidays are ferry-inclusive and fully bonded with the Passenger Shipping Association, so booking is easy as well as safe.

These holidays begin and end with a relaxing cruise and plenty for all the family to do onboard, plus, on overnight crossings you can enjoy a good night's sleep in your own en-suite cabin, arriving fresh for the drive to that perfect holiday. Or, if time is critical, there are high speed ferries from Portsmouth and Poole taking as little as 2hr 15mins to whisk you across the channel.
