Some more information:
Fantastic news from Brittany Ferries. They are offering discounted travel for participants of the RS Eurocup and Europeans 2013. They are able to provide a 20% reduction from the available fare at the time of booking for the travel element of a booking i.e. car and passengers for the dates below. Any on-board accommodation would be a full price.
UK to France 28 – 30 May inclusive
France to UK 02 – 04 June inclusive
My contact at Brittany Ferries has asked me to point out that all their sailings are “yield managed” meaning that prices will increase for each type of vehicle dependent upon demand, usually meaning the earlier you book the cheaper the fare.
Bookings must be made on-line accessed via http://www.brittany-ferries.co.uk/rs-sailing Please note that this is open to Association members only. This offer is for full payment at time of booking on a no cancellation/no refund basis. Amendments can be made
subject to their normal £25.00 amendment fee.
