Cross the Channel in style
Transeuropa Ferries, the Ramsgate to Ostend cross channel ferry operator, announces a new passenger fare structure for 2005.
The prices, which come into effect on 1st February, are based on single tickets for simplicity. According to Nigel Castle, General Manager UK, customers appreciate the straightforward approach.
“Our method enables passengers to compare prices for themselves without having to telephone a call centre or check the website until they’ve decided to book” he explains.
A recent entrant to the cross channel passenger market, Transeuropa has operated a freight line between Ramsgate and Ostend since 1998. Its new passenger vehicle service targets the independent traveller and families who want to enjoy a relaxed crossing away from more hectic ports. Transeuropa carries cars, mobile homes, caravans and motorcycles but not coaches or foot passengers
