Ferry connections Calais-Dover
Ferry connection from Calais to Dover. Travel route information, schedules and how to buy ferry tickets. Photos and blog.
From Calais (France) to Dover (UK) by ferry. Route to avoid the expensive Eurostar train. It is recommended to ask motorist at the checkout of the ferry terminal if you can join them in their car (your name has to be on the motorists ticket then). Tickets for foot passengers became prohibitively expensive. The motorist usually has no extra costs with one person more or less in the car. From Calais station to Calais harbour: - by foot (30 minutes) - by bus (EUR 2) - by taxi (EUR 10) From Dover harbour (Eastern Docks) to Dover station: - by foot (30 minutes) - by bus (GBP 2) - by taxi (GBP 10)
Buy the ticket for the ferry directly at the ferry terminal or at the website of the ferry company.
