About Dover

Dover is the most popular port in England and the gateway to France for many British tourists. Dover faces the narrowest part of the channel, and on a clear day you can see France from the ferry port.

As the shortest channel crossing between England and France, Dover has been a popular port for people who wish to explore mainland Europe. The iconic chalk cliffs have become known as the White Cliffs of Dover and can be seen for miles across the channel. Dover prides itself in its transport services and tourism, and has 3 museums; the main Dover Museum, the Dover Transport Museum and the Roman Painted House.

Great experience, breakfast as it…

Great experience, breakfast as it should be and not like with that other airline where you have to get food from a machine.

We use the Dover to…

We use the Dover to Dunkirk ferry at least four times a year to visit family. Most times it’s on time and loading/unloading is smooth. Passport control and security checks at Dunkirk were painfully slow on our latest trip. I would use the onboard catering more if there was a broader healthy snacks offering.
Overall a good service and value for money.
