The new Southampton/Cherbourg service commences on 28 June and will be operated by the 17,000 ton cruise ferry 'Stena Normandy', which has recently undergone a £1.5 million refit. Facilities include bars, lounges and restaurants, together with a cinema, casino and business lounge. As an introductory offer anyone booking on the
Southampton/Cherbourg route before 28 June and travelling before 30 September 1991 will receive a discount of 50% off the standard motorist fare (this will not qualify for the 15% FCO discount).

- this Sealink Stena Line offer is valid
from 15 April to 30 June for travel between these dates. Bookings must include a car and for each business traveller an additional passenger goes completely free of charge. There are no restrictions on times or sailings or duration of stay.
The FCO discount does NOT apply to Isle of Wight services, nor does it apply to cabin, berth or reserved seat supplements or Sealink Inclusive Holidays. Also excluded are vehicles subject to customs documentation (eg vehicles intended for sale or carrying goods etc). BOOKINGS CAN ONLY BE MADE THROUGH TRAVEL CENTRE.

The arrangements made with Sealink Stena Line identify them as the ONLY PREFERRED CROSS-CHANNEL CAR FERRY OPERATOR and they must be used for all official FCO-funded travel in the Sealink Stena area of operations, including Ireland. The savings are quite considerable a typical saving for a standard return car journey with driver and companion to France would be around £30 for the return journey. The special offers mentioned above would of course significantly increase this saving.
HOLIDAY SAVINGS
Travel Centre have up to now provided an in-house facility to FCO personnel where a discount is given on a selection of tour operators products. However, due to the increased official travel workloads handled by the same staff the level of service has been difficult to maintain.

From 1 May 1991 a new telephone-based holiday scheme will be available to all current and retired FCO staff members. The service called HOLIDAY LINE is a specialist telephone booking service operated by Thomas Cook Direct. A discount of 5% will be given automatically on the total basic price of the holiday for yourself and companions. The discount will now apply to more than 100 of the UK's top holiday companies.
