Norflok Line Ferries have now introduced the first of their 3 new ships on the Dover-Dunkerque route - the Maersk Dunkerque. Norfolkline traditionally handled freight only but a few years ago started taking non-freight vehicles at very keen rates. The cheap prices have continued, but with the new fleet of boats the on-board accommodation gets a major upgrade. The original fleet were very much functional ships with basic but comfortable seating and facilities. The restaurant left you in little doubt that the main clientele was the British lorry driver, so the food was wholesome rather than fancy, the menu very English!
So the new ships are welcome and will add capacity to the route - I hope it will not mean the end of cheap fares on this route.
