My first trip with dfds ferries - I am a reguar Calais to Dover traveller and thought I would try Dunkerque instead and try to cut down on my driving time. What I didn't realise was the ferry is 20k south of Dunkerque - so I missed the outbound sailing! But the next one was in an hour and I wasn't charged a toll for taking it - so it worked out ok. Time wise it wasn't very advantageous - I saved half an hour or so driving time over Calais - but the crossing is an hour longer. Moneywise it did save me about 30 Euro over the normal Calais Dover tarriff. What probably swung it was the quality of the return ship. Light, airy and glassy and with a superb meal of meatballs and mash (and friendly staff). 9.8 8.2 10.0
Our journey with DFDS was our first and we must say it was a joy compared with a few other ferry companies. A warm welcome greeted you as you walked along the clean corridors. Directions were easily found to various facilities. The journey was comfortable and soon passed. The parking was easy and departure was as quick as loading. I will use this company and route again. I will not hesitate to recommend to anyone this ferry company. I hope it keeps it's high standards. Thank you. 7.6 |
Hoverspeed stopped operating in November 2005. It operated crossings from Dover to Calais. Don't worry though because with AFerry.co.uk you can book ferries to Calais with the SeaFrance or ferries to Calais with P&O Ferries or take your car by rail with EuroTunnel.
You can also book Norfolkline ferries to Dunkirk or LD Lines ferries from Newhaven to Dieppe or Portsmouth to Le Havre.

For all ferries to and from France, see our ferries to France page.
If you are interested in experiencing Hovercraft travel, you can book Hovertravel crossings from Portsmouth (SouthSea) to the Isle of Wight. There is nothing quite like travelling by hovercraft and it is an experience worth having just for the sake of it. They are the only company in the UK with a passenger hovercraft service and Hovertravel is the world's oldest hovercraft operator.
