Found on the south east coast of England in the county of Kent, Dover ferry port is arguably the world's busiest port with millions of passengers and vehicles passing through on cross channel ferries each year. Dover is the nearest English port to France with just 21 miles separating it from Calais and Dunkirk a little further up the coast. The port is also by far one of the most popular departure points for travelling between the UK and continental Europe; no surprise when you consider there's a cross channel ferry departure on average every 30 minutes with some. Dover ferry port boasts top facilities and almost unrivalled transport links following a period of continued investment and subsequent improvement.
The French port of Dunkirk, along with its neighbour Calais is one of the busiest ferry ports in Europe and connects with Dover across the busy English channel. Unlike Calais however, with only 1 ferry company using the port, you're guaranteed a stress free and easy experience when boarding or disembarking the ferry. Passengers can make use of numerous facilities in the town before their ferry departure too with a range of shops, cafés and restaurants on offer. The port’s territory actually covers 27 square miles across ten towns - obviously Dunkirk but also Saint-Pol-sur-Mer, Fort-Mardyck, Grande-Synthe, Mardyck, Loon-Plage, Gravelines, Craywick, Saint-Georges-sur-l’Aa and Bourbourg.
