Thank you for your review. To answer your question, the price varies depending on demand for each sailing so the general rule is to book as early as possible to get the best price. Leaving it late to book will inevitably cost more if you are travelling at popular times. On the quieter sailings the price will remain low or not increase as quickly. You can book any 2014 sailing at this years price if you do so before the end of this year. In addition, your partner should consider applying for a Travel Card which gives vehicle discounts of up to 20%. In the meantime, many thanks for choosing Red Funnel.
