Condor Ferries Perfect Storm

Condor Ferries perfect storm

Holidays with Condor Ferries

I have not yet had my wish of taking a long holiday somewhere on the Europe continent. If I had my way, I would tour most of Europe over the course of a year or two. And I'm sure Condor Ferries would make a fun addition to the trip. I have always loved ferries like the Condor Ferries ever since the first time I rode on a ferry (that I can remember) when I was just eleven years old. I really fell in love with them at fourteen in North Carolina when my family was touring the lighthouses of the outer banks. I had this sort of intense spiritual almost meditative experience when I was at the prow of the ship alone, the waters were choppy and the waves were crashing up on the ferry and making me wet. While it might be a bit much to expect that much from another ferry, even Condor Ferries, one can certainly hope.

New Experiences on Condor Ferries

I would love to go across the English channel, and I'm sure Condor Ferries would be the perfect way to do this. One could even make a long holiday of going back and forth across on the Condor Ferries to all the different stops on both sides of the channel. If I were to do such a thing I would probably want to stay at least a couple weeks at each stop, to really get to know the place, so Condor Ferries and I would probably (in my ideal holiday) spend several months with each other. What a way to introduce yourself to Condor Ferries, eh?

Price of Condor Ferries

Of course there is one aspect of this Condor Ferries adventure plan that I have not yet thought out or planned for; cost. I'm certain that Condor Ferries do not offer free rides--no one does these days--so the question is how much more than free is it going to cost me. Hopefully it is nothing too pricey, of course if I were just to travel back and forth from the various stops on the Condor Ferries routes, that might be the only transportation I would have to pay for, other than airfare of course (I am, after all, a citizen on another continent, despite what has been termed my archaic sounding language, which I hope is not too off-putting). And if Condor Ferries was my only transportation cost on this venture, it may well be affordable. With no car rental fees (I prefer to walk anyway) and no buses or taxis (like I said, I really prefer to walk, and I'm sure there is enough in each of these towns to keep one occupied for a few weeks, easily), then I can certainly afford Condor Ferries, probably quite easily (in a typical holiday budget that is). Who knows, they might even offer me a discount if I'm going to take all of their different routes. I might even inspire a new travel package for the Condor Ferries company!
