UK to France Ferries
Ferries from the
Port of Dover
The Port of Dover is the UK's busiest passenger port, located in the south east of england.
​
Therec are two tourist routes from Dover to France:
​
Dover to Dunkerque - DFDS Ferries
​
Dover to Calais - DFDS Ferries, Irish Ferries and P&O Ferries
​
Check out my blogs to see which route and ferry is best for your needs
Dover to Dunkerque
The Dover to Dunkerque route is operated by DFDS and their three identical ferries, all of which were purpose built for the route they serve.
​
The crossing is particularly convenient if you are travelling to the Benelux countries and are looking for a fast and convenient service as the journey time is only around two hours.
Ferries from Portsmouth
Portsmouth is very accessible for those using public transport or driving to the port. If travelling by the later, the port benefits from having a large multi-storey car park onsite; my blogs give details.
​
More akin to a small regional airport, the ferry terminal offers check-in desks for the ferry operators, small kiosk selling confectionary and a coffee shop.
​
From Portsmouth one is able to travel by ferry to:
Caen (Ouistreham) France
Le Havre, France
Cherbourg, France
St.Malo, France
Jersey/Guernsey (Channel Islands)
​
