Mid-Week Escape to France from Just €465
Car + 2 adults + inner cabin.

 

A short break to France has never been more tempting. Sail away mid-week (Tuesday or Wednesday) and start your getaway the moment you step on board.

 

Relax in the comfort of your own cosy cabin, unwind with a fresh coffee and pastry in Café Lafayette, or upgrade to Club Class and enjoy stunning sea views in style as you sail to France aboard W.B. Yeats. Bring everything you need — there’s plenty of room for all your luggage (and for stocking up on some of the best-value wines this side of Paris on your return). Once ashore, tee off at one of over 40 world-class golf courses, explore charming ports and villages filled with exceptional restaurants, or experience the magic of Mont-Saint-Michel, the iconic island is still a top attraction made famous by the medieval abbey.

 

Weekend fares (Thursday - Monday) also available from €495 Car + 2 adults + inner cabin.
