Welcome to Calais-Dover.com, the website with everything you need to know about crossing the Channel between Dover and Calais. Good to know: the people who make this site have done the crossing many times, and all photos, information and tips are our own.
Why this website?
There are several ways to get from the UK to the continent. One of the cheapest and fastest is the ferry from Dover to Calais. Even here there is plenty to choose: three operators, P&O Ferries, DFDS and Irish Ferries, and then the tunnel, which you cross with your car on the train.
That is a lot of choice. We built Calais-Dover.com to help you find your way through it.
Our mission
Our mission is simple: to give you the best advice for crossing between Dover and Calais. Ferry or tunnel? And if you choose the ferry, we help you compare the operators. We have tried them all ourselves.
We also show you what it takes to travel to France by car or with a caravan, and what changes once you drive on the right. Still have questions? Then send us a message.
Who we are
Calais-Dover.com is part of FerryGoGo B.V., a Dutch company that gives online advice about ferry crossings. Since 2017 we have built information sites for ferry travellers, because we found little reliable, honest information ourselves.
Everything on this site is based on real experience: we have crossed between Dover and Calais many times, with every operator, on different ships and by car through the tunnel.
Our latest trip: on 11 September 2026 FerryGoGo partner Rob Tigchelaar drove from Dunkirk to Dover on the DFDS Delft Seaways. Terminal, boarding and food on board: it is all in his review ↗.
If you book with a partner after visiting our site, we may earn a commission. That is why we work with several partners. Read more in our disclaimer.
