LD Lines OverviewLD Lines, a subsidiary of Louis Dreyfus Armateurs has set a precedent in offering ferry transport across the Western Channel at very affordable prices. LD Lines started in 2005 with just one route from Portsmouth to Le Havre and then expanded rapidly as a group acquiring Transmanche ferries offering Newhaven to Dieppe route in 2006. Armed with this experience and the positive customer feedback, LD Lines have recently expanded their route network by adding new sailings from Dover to Dieppe, Dover to Boulogne, and Cherbourg to Rosslare ferry crossings, again being loyal to their motto of offering quality service at affordable prices. |
