  • "A good experience all round"

    This operator offers excellent value for money. Facilities on-board were good, vehicle loading & unloading were quick and easy, and the crossing itself was smoother than I would have imagined given the sea state at the time.

  • "Dunkirk to Dover"

    By far the BEST PRICE an excellent service. Booked it via internet less than 12hrs before the trip. 3x cheaper than the closest competitor and even closer than Calais. Great clean facilities on board! Swiss precision with the timing.

England Guide

England attracts travellers from all over thanks to its rich history, culture and natural beauty. Dover ferry port acts as a gateway to the country. Once you arrive, you can't miss a trip to Dover Castle and the area's iconic White Cliffs. There's plenty of things to see and do elsewhere in England too. Whether you fancy exploring the historic Canterbury Cathedral or enjoying a beach break in Brighton, the list is endless.  The vibrant capital of London, with its world-class attractions which include the British Museum and the Tower of London, is just a train ride away from Dover too.
