Ferries from Dover to Calais are a great way to cross the English Channel from the UK to France.
Ferries to Calais and other French cities depart from Dover frequently throughout the day. They are run by the company P&O Ferries. P&O’s ships leave Dover from the city’s Eastern Docks.
P&O Ferries run ferries from Dover to Calais around the clock. Their vessels make 23 daily crossings from Dover, with a departure almost every hour. The travel time on their ships is 1 hour and 30 minutes. Passengers travelling by foot can only take a ferry between the hours of 8:10 and 19:35.
The price of a return ticket on P&O Ferries can be as low as 25 GBP for a day trip and 39 GBP for an open return for up to 9 passengers travelling with a car.
Ferry discounts and deals are available throughout the year, so do some research before booking your ferry from Dover to Calais. For example, special return fares of 19 GBP are often available online if you book ahead of time.
