Why take a ferry from Dunkerque to Dover ?

Whether you're travelling solo, with a partner or with the family, a Dunkerque to Dover ferry can be a convenient and enjoyable option for getting to Dover. Here are 3 reasons why we think Dunkerque to Dover ferry is an ideal way to travel.

Transporting your bike is not a problem
On the train, bus or plane, it is often very complicated and sometimes impossible to travel with this cumbersome companion: your bike. However, on a ferry, you don't have this problem: your bike is loaded directly into the huge garage of the boat. You leave it there for the duration of the Dunkerque-Dover crossing in complete safety and without fear of it being damaged. You will find it when you disembark on your arrival in Dover.
Not to be bored on board... unlike the plane
If we compare the speed, the plane is certainly the fastest way to go from Dunkerque to Dover. But you are stuck in your seat, tied down by your seatbelt and the opportunities to move around are almost nil. During the Dunkerque Dover ferry trip with Norfolk Line or DFDS Seaways, there are countless opportunities for entertainment with restaurants and bars, or to stroll and sunbathe on a promenade deck... A totally different experience from a flight!
To enjoy the incredible sea view
Generally, when we go on vacation by the sea, we look for a sea view as much as possible (at the restaurant, at the hotel, while hiking...). During the Dunkerque Dover crossing, whether you are on deck, dining in the restaurant or relaxing in the comfortable lounges of the DFDS Seaways or Norfolk Line ship, you will simply have a front row seat to the incredible spectacle that the sea offers. Restaurant, bars, lounges, cabins,... the magnificent views of the sea are omnipresent on board the ship.
