European budget travel news

With my European Budget Airline posts now transferred to my European cheap flight updates, here is a bit of ferry news.

Hoverspeed the fast ferry Hoverspeed actually did operate hovercraft at one time, closed down operations on the Dover Calais route for the last time at the start of this month. Competition between the ferries and the Channel Tunnel along with the exodus of potential passengers to the budget airlines have meant that Hoverspeed have decided to Hoverspeed this route.

SpeedFerries who operate a fare structure similar to the budget airlines still operates the Dover Boulogne route.
