Stories from the Dover Calais ferry

In the various roundabouts on the return ferry journey it is
surprising to notice the various drills and machines used to construct
the tunnel under the English Channel from Dover to Calais. If you are
lucky on a clear day from the ferry you can see even the white cliffs
of Dover! Calais is a popular spot for British tourists because it is
too easy, both from the ferry and through the Channel Tunnel and the
price of wine and cheese is so much friendlier.

£19 Dover to Calais ferry Trip

£19 Dover to Calais Trip Plus 6 Bottles of Wine. Sail from Dover to
Calais for just £19 with P&O Ferries, but don; forget to get your car
insurance up to date before taking a cross channel driving holiday in
France.

The recognition of packet routes similar to Dover to Calais in France,
Harwich to Hook of Holland nearby Rotterdam as well as Holyhead to
Dublin meant that holidays in Europe have been increasingly expected
as the norm with British holidaymakers. Getting from Southern England
to Belgium by ferry without a trip across Paris need some careful
research. I think you can catch a train to Dover, then a ferry to
Calais, and train to Brugge without going to Paris. Of course it would
be better to get a ferry straight to Zeebrugge.

Dover Calais Ferry Competition

The main Dover Calais Ferry operators are P and O Ferries and
SeaFrance but with any duopoly there's always room for a third
contender to sneak in through the crack between them, as indeed did P
& O Ferries themselves do back in the days when the ont Dover Calais
Ferries were either Townsend Thoresen (European Ferries) or Sealink.

For example, ferry operator LD Lines has introduced a 'best-value
cross-Channel early-booking' offer from £18 each way via its exclusive
Dover-Boulogne route. The offer is valid for a car and two people.

LD Lines is a subsidiary of Louis Dreyfus Armateurs, a major player in
maritime transport with a fleet of over 60 ships operating worldwide.
LD Lines added the popular Dover-Boulogne crossing to their existing
ferry routes in February 2009. This new service operates year round
and there are four crossings each way during the week.

The Norman Spirit operates the route with a crossing time of just
1h45. The Norman Spirit has capacity for 1850 passengers, 700 cars and
110 freight vehicles.

Bolougne is just thirty kilometres from Calais and it's a much nicer
town to visit for a day trip or indeed to end a motoring holiday in
France. So the Dover Boulogne route is in close competition with the
more numerous Dover Calais ferry fleet.
