What's onboard
Just because the crossing is quick, it doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy your time onboard! There’s plenty of shopping to be done at the onboard Sea Shop- why not treat yourself to designer fragrances, skincare products and cosmetics with attractive price tags? Enjoy delicious meals in the 7 Seas restaurant or grab a glass of wine and a snack at the Lighthouse Café. You’ll arrive rested, refreshed and ready for your French adventure.
Continental trip
Calais and Dunkirk are the perfect destinations for a continental day trip. Soak up some sun on Calais’ beaches or visit the Belfry of Dunkirk, a UNESCO World Heritage site dating back to the 1400s. If you’re in Dunkirk, visit the seaside resort of Malo-les-Bains and stroll by its colourful beach huts and 1920s villas. Closer to Calais you’ll find Hardelot Plage. The sprawling beach is great for walking or swimming and the country park has a beautiful Shakespearean theatre which is worth a visit. If you’re staying longer sample some bubbles in the Champagne region, visit the cosmopolitan capital, Paris, or venture to the French riviera in the south.
