LD Lines

Hi,

There are cabins on the CdA, typical 4 berth arrangement (2 up, 2 down ), other than that its seating. (airline style or armchair, is possible to sleep in them although expect an ache or 2 when you wake up !!!! )

Its probably as permanent as anything in the ferry market. The CdA normally replaces the Seven Sisters ferry between Newhaven / Dieppe when the Seven Sisters has a refit for example.

The CdA is smaller than the LD Lines boats (Norman Spirit etc), it is a Transmanche Ferries boat, can take up to 600 passengers.

Hope this helps

The chairman's blog on the LD Lines web site indicted that this is a permanent change ( until the next time) and that sleeper seats are being fitted this week. So those of you who like to pay the extra amount for an overnight crossing there will be a variety of sleeping arangements.

Unfortunately, for those of us who do not like paying the cost of overnight sleeping arrangements the only daytime crossing from Portsmouth, from April onwards, is at 8.30 in the morning which is far too early for those of us living north of the M4.
