crossing information for Sea France Ferries |
Sea France was launched at the
beginning of January 1996 when an agreement ended
between SNAT and Sealink. It is now a respected
operator, sailing across some very popular routes
- attempting to offer good service, with good food
and comfortable bars with low prices. For instance,
they are the only French company to operate the
route between Calais and Dover.
On board there is a typical French Restaurant called
La Brasserie, with a waiter service bringing you
the finest cuisine. If you want to serve yourself,
there is Le Relais which offers food at good value.
As far as drinking is concerned, passengers can
go to Le Parisien Café or Le Pub which has
a menu of continental and English beers at cheap
prices. For those of you who like shopping. Sea
France offers shops that are open throughout the
day and night on all of the ships. The range of
shops sell alcoholic products such as whiskey, beer,
champagne and wine. They also sell perfume and cigarettes
along with designer label clothes, toys, designer
goods, luxury gifts and products and fashion accessories.
If you are worried about the Customs' limits you
can ask the Sea France staff who will be able to
advise you on on-board purchases.
You can also purchase French and British newspapers,
or road maps or magazines when you are on board.
You can also go to the Bureau de Change on all of
the Sea France ships - which allow you to change
your currency before you get to your destination.
There are also machines which allow you to automatically
exchange money at times when the Bureau De Change
is busy.
As far as safety is concerned, Sea France makes
great play of their commitment to security as well
as the sea environment. SOLAS, MARPOL and STCW are
the necessary maritime regulations and Sea France
adheres to all of them. They are also International
Safety Management (ISM) certified, which guarantees
security standards are high as well as demonstrating
a proper commitment to maritime environment protection.
Recently, Sea France announced the building of a
new high performance vessel, to be put into service
in February 2005. This ship follows the design of
the award-winning Sea France Rodin, which is the
flagship of Sea France - being 185 metres long,
28 metres wide and able to carry almost 2,000 passengers.
