Cruise-ferry operator, Brittany Ferries, has announced its portfolio of sail-and-stay holidays in 2016, offering savings on early bookings.
Holidays booked by way of a GBP44 per person deposit by December 15, 2015, will receive discounts of 25 percent, saving hundreds of pounds, with the balance payable six weeks before departure.
‘The widest choice of accommodation, ferry sailings and cabins are three good reasons to book early,’ said Christiane Barker, Brittany Ferries general manager, Holidays. ‘But perhaps the best reason is the huge saving on your 2016 holiday. We are proud to be one of the few operators that take a modest deposit on your booking now, which could mean hundreds of pounds off a family summer holiday.’
The sail-and-stay portfolio includes a varied selection of holidays taking in cottages and villas, hotels, camping, apartments and golf breaks, including those in western France and northern Spain. Holidaymakers may book early and save:
GBP116 on a family getaway to Brittany’s pirate city of St Malo – departing during the Easter holidays on March 27 (with an en suite cabin on the overnight sailing) and returning on March 31.
