5% Discount off P&O Ferry Crossings

P&O Ferries discount

All La Croix guests qualify for a 5% P&O Ferries discount code on their channel crossing from Dover to Calais, Hull or Teesport to Zeebrugge if they use the Chez Nous Travel service to book their trip. (Zeebrugge is a very good stop if you are coming from the North East: it saves all the drive down to the busy roads of the South East (Dover) and only adds an hour the other end on the Calais road trip.)

If you are coming via Portsmouth and using Brittanny Ferries,  then you can still get a 5% discount on your crossing using Chez Nous, but you will get a 20% discount if you use our own particular booking code with Brittany Ferries (please contact us when you book for your code). Find out more here.

For all your onward travel needs please check our Directions page and Planning your Trip section. With 5% P&O ferry deals to be had: what’s not to like?
