A guide to ferry services
to France.
►
All ferry links on this page take you directly to the ferry company's
own website where you can book online at lowest rates.
►
About-France.com does not redirect visitors to so-called "cheap"
booking sites or comparison sites which can end up charging
considerably more for cross-channel ferry booking.
For
cheapest
ferry
prices, the best and surest solution is to click the direct links
on this page ► that will take you to ferry company websites. Avoid the
risks of
third-party booking sites and supposedly cheap ferry tickets
that are not the bargains they claim to be. |

Ferries
to France from UK ports
From
the shortest crossing, Dover - Calais, to the longest, Hull - Zeebrugge
and Plymouth - Roscoff, there is a good choice of ferry and
tunnel
operators running from a number of UK ports.
► Choose your port, then
click on the operator link to go to the ferry company's own website.
► By
booking directly with the ferry companies, you will get the
cheapest available prices, usually exactly the same prices
as offered on so-called "cheap ferry" websites, and sometimes cheaper - not to
mention special offers only available to people booking directly.
►
Online travel and ticketing companies come and go at an alarming rate.
Booking directly with the ferry company also protects you from any
possibility of a third-party failure, and makes it far simpler to
change or cancel a booking if you have to change your plans |
