Relaxing onboard - France to Dover

Travelling by ferry is a relaxing experience, especially when you compare it to flying. All ships on our France to Dover routes have seating areas where you can relax and enjoy the journey. Take in the great sea views, rest or simply watch the world (and the water!) go by.

There are also large TV screens showing the latest news and sport. Or for extra privacy, add access to the private Premium Lounge during the booking process.
