Ferries to France
With up to 54 daily sailings between Dover and our French ports of Dunkirk and Calais, you and your group can choose the perfect crossing time to suit. Crossings take just 90 minutes to Calais and 2 hours to Dunkirk, meaning you can get straight back on the road and head to your destination.
Our Newhaven-Dieppe route is a great way for you and your group to head to western France and Normandy with your vehicle. Dieppe port is in an ideal location to enjoy the beautiful northern French coastline and Dieppe is also the nearest port to Paris, should you wish to head to the French capital.
Ferries to Holland
For groups in northern England or Scotland, our daily overnight ferry crossings between Newcastle and Amsterdam offer a modern, well-equipped and comfortable cruise ferry experience and easy access to Europe. Our ferry departs our North Shields port near Newcastle at 17:00 and arrives in IJmuiden, near Amsterdam, at 09:30 the next morning, giving you the full day to continue your journey.
If you are crossing with a coach then groups of 20 or more will receive free transportation for the coach, the driver and also free driver’s meals.
