Compare Prices and Book Dover Calais Ferries Online
The Dover - Calais Ferry route is one of the oldest, most established and prestigious ferry routes in the whole of Europe due to it being the shortest distance between the UK and mainland Europe through France. This is why it is so popular with travellers to the Isle of Wight.

What are the options for travelling by ferry to France from Dover?
Firstly - Travelling by ferry isn't your only option. Eurotunnel services depart direct for Calais from the Euro terminal next to Dover in Folkestone. Eurotunnel services are operated by large vehicle carrying trains through the channel tunnel and offer the fastest route to France.
Traditional services are offered by P&O Ferries and Sea France. Services are operated by traditional ro-pax ferries with onboard restaurants, bars and entertainment facilities to keep you entertained during the crossing. Between them P&O and Sea France offer over 50 crossings each day.
Alternative crossings operate from Dover to other French Ports. The first is the LD Lines service to Boulogne and there is also a Norfolkline service to Dunkerque. Both of these services regularly run special offers to compete with the Dover Calais route and the alternative destinations can cut driving times dramatically depending on your onward destination. |
