Relaxing onboard - France to Dover

Travelling by ferry is a relaxing experience, especially when you compare it to flying. All ships on our France to Dover routes have seating areas where you can relax and enjoy the journey. Take in the great sea views, rest or simply watch the world (and the water!) go by.

There are also large TV screens showing the latest news and sport. Or for extra privacy, add access to the private Premium Lounge during the booking process.

Premium Lounge Prosecco

Premium Lounge

For an extra special crossing between France and Dover, why not treat yourself and upgrade to our exclusive Premium Lounge. This comfortable private lounge is open 24 hours a day.

For only £18 per person each way, you'll enjoy:

  • Complimentary Italian prosecco
  • Complimentary sweet treats and fruit
  • Complimentary hot & cold drinks
  • Complimentary sandwiches and hot rolls

If you fancy truly treating yourself, this exclusive space offers a quieter, more luxurious ambiance for your trip on our Dover to Dunkirk or Dover to Calais routes.

Our Premium Lounge is now available for all ages, but an add-on must be purchased for everyone travelling.
