Travel insurance: Ferry travel is popular

Another option is opened up by ferry travel, as it is an alternative way to see the world, according to the Association of British Travel Agents.

Travelling by ferry is still popular among families, spokeswoman Francis Tuke noted, because it is a new experience and in contrast to train or plane choices.

Moreover, people are becoming more worried about the impact of their travelling trends on the natural environment, the official claimed, in the wake of research carried out by travelsupermarket.com.

While ferry travel is great because of the "convenience", Ms Tuke remarked, there are also other reasons for its growing stature.

She commented: "In the past, no, I wouldn't have thought so but now, I think people are thinking very differently about how they travel and so green issues do come to the forefront."

Shipping Times has recently stated that last year a large number of passengers passed through Dover Ferry Port in 2007.

Those looking to embark on trips should ensure that they have adequate travel insurance before doing so.
