2018 National Ferry Fortnight Offers

The much anticipated National Ferry Fortnight is finally here. Britain’s annual National Ferry Fortnight (NFF) which is scheduled to hold from 14th to 28th April 2018 is run by Discover Ferries, the industry body for the Ferry Sector. Now in its tenth year, the National Ferry Fortnight is designed to showcase Britain’s extensive 75-plus ferry routes and the benefit to travel by sea.
The campaign theme for this year’s National Ferry Fortnight is “take your passion with you.” Discover Ferries explains that it aims to highlight that ferry travel is an enabler for people to follow their passions even if it involves taking their motorbikes, pets, a large group of friends or families, golf clubs, skis, caravans, pets, and motorhomes overseas.
As an added advantage of the ferry travel, wildlife lovers can spot marine wildlife from the deck of the ferry. Food and wine lovers need not worry as they can get a vehicle full of wines, boutique, gins, craft beers or gourmet delicacies. During the two weeks event, Discover Ferries is expected to share advice about taking vehicles or equipment on holiday as well as inspirational trips for great journeys.
