Nowadays people complain all the time how uncomfortable is becoming travelling by plane. Airlines seem to care more and more about money and less about traveler´s needs. The seats are getting reduced and the prices go high. There are more restriction regarding to luggage and if you want to take more than one bag you need to pay extra money. Airlines hardly offer any flexibility when it comes to date changing. It seems that you need to pay more money than expected if you ask for things that should be free or at least not so expensive.

People tend to plan their holidays with lots of anticipation because this way they save money on flights. When we go on holidays we normally take planes in order to save time, be more comfortable and get to know more places. But the truth is that we can actually do this using Ferry companies.

There are tour by ferry that go around the coastline of many countries where you can stop and have a whole day to walk around the city. Ferry companies are much more flexible if you need to reschedule dates or change some of the conditions on your tickets. Another benefit is that you have more flexibility regarding luggage.

If you think about it, being in a ferry would be like being in a hotel that moves. So we would actually be spending the same or maybe less money if we combine the flight tickets with the hotel rates. Another benefit is that inside the ferry you won’t feel like inside a plane. Ferry companies have very big ships where there is plenty of space to walk and relax. Let’s also consider that there are a lot of people scared of flying and this becomes the very best second option. Being in a ferry doesn’t mean that you have to remain in your room all the time. There are discos, shows, gyms and all kinds of commodities you can imagine.

In a normal hotel you sleep the whole night and then take the plane to the next destination. Going by ferry you travel while you sleep, so you are actually saving time in order to get to know more places. If you want to spend more than one day in certain city you can drop off and then take another cruise some dates later. This is how flexible Ferry companies can be.

You can even travel on your own. Inside the ferry you will meet lots of people from different parts of the world. Its actually quite interesting inside a cruise.

Contrary to what most people think, you can actually make the most of your free days from work going by ferry.

Many Ferry Companies have many years in the business. This is not for every one of the ferries companies. There are those which are new in the transport of people and or Cargo. These new companies are not really big. That is why these companies only make people transportation in the ferries. In the Portsmouth international Port that are some of these companies which offer different services and routes. Most of them give a pretty decent service to their customers, I mean, for the price they pay I guess it’s reasonable. Of course that the distances they have to make are not that big comparing to the travels to the coast of Spain or the coast of France.

One of these companies is Wightlink. This fine company have taken the name of the island because it specializes on travels only to the island of Wight from England. To be precise from the Portsmouth International Port. This company is very famous for the relatively cheap prices and the nice attention they give to their customers. It is not just a coincidence the average of people that travels with this company in a years is about 5.5 million of passengers. I know what you think, It is a big number. A 6 digits number. Well that is the true. Apparently most of people prefer to make small trips rather than travel long distances for a vacation. We will assume here that most ferry companies work not only transporting people but cargo also. However the main income for this company is to carry people, and they expect this number will increase in the coming year.

Now, let’s not talk about only of people. People sometimes could be a very boring topic. They are so irrational sometimes. That’s why I do prefer cars. Aren’t they great? Wigjlink carries 1.2 million cars every year. Impressive for an small low trip company. Let see how does it go with the commercial cars (they main income for other Ferry Companies): 200 000 commercial vehicles. I guess we are seeing now a quite experienced company. It seems the Ferries are their specialty.

They are very proud of being part of the island life. And it’s not only words. This is shown in the prices the offer to their customers. They actually offer a Half Day Return for a car and up to 4 people for only 25 pounds. Well, I don’t know you but that a very good deal. Not even mention the special offer of combined travel and entry to top attractions. It’s practically a bargain-

Wightlink has shown to be one of the best Ferry Companies in the Southern UK, not only for the numerous fleet they have, but also the treatment received and prices according to the current situation. More than 5 million people confirm the great attention received on board and recommend to use the same service for a relaxing experience. The numbers don’t lie man. If you ever think to travel to Wight, you’d better think in the best link between the two islands. You’d better think on Wightlink.
