A long weekend in France without the hassle of flying.

With P&O’s short-break fares, the return crossing costs a fixed price per car, whether there are two of you or a car full.

Our verdict
A simple, good-value fare for a few days in France or Belgium with the car. The 3-day break from £110 is the sharpest price; the 5-day break gives you more time for just £24 more.
