Crossing the Channel

Up to 40 ferry sailings per day connect Dover and Calais (classic route, Stages 3–4)

The classic route crosses the English Channel at its narrowest point between Dover or Folkestone in England and Calais in France. There are two ways of making this crossing, by ferry from Dover or by shuttle train through the Channel Tunnel.

Up to 40 ferry sailings operate daily (depending on the season) between Dover Eastern docks and Calais Gare Maritime ferry port operated by two companies, P&O (www.poferries.com) and DFDS (www.dfdsseaways.co.uk). Crossing time is 90 minutes. As these are vehicular ferries there is ample capacity on board for cyclists without the need for reservations, although lower prices are available by advance booking online.
