10 good reasons to travel by ferry:


  1. Ferry travel doesn’t get much cheaper

  2. A family of four can travel across the channel with Norfolkline from only £19 each way. That’s under £10 each for a return trip!

  3. No hidden costs
  4. Unlike the airlines ferry travel doesn’t have any hidden costs – just a simple booking process.

  5. No luggage restrictions

  6. There are no luggage restrictions on ferry crossings, in fact we encourage you to fill your boot with goodies!

  7. Good motorway links

  8. Dunkirk is better situated than Calais for travel to many destinations in France, Belgium, Germany and Holland. As no other ferry operator goes to Dunkirk the port is less congested and the roads quieter than Calais which means you can get on your way quicker and easier.

  9. Less cramped

  10. Unlike flying there’s loads of legroom because you can go for a walk! More than that you can explore the restaurants and shops.

  11. Kids area

  12. Play areas such as Norfolkline’s ‘Little Nippers’, an underwater-themed play area perfect for keeping the children entertained in safety during the channel crossing.

  13. Take your pets

  14. You know you’ll miss them so why not take them on the car ferry? Pets can travel onboard as part of the Pets Travel Scheme.

  15. Plenty of short breaks

  16. There are places around Dunkirk for an overnight stay. Alternatively you can drive into Belgium or enjoy a glass or two of bubbly in the Champagne Region, which is only a two and half hour drive away from the port?

  17. First class travel

  18. Travel in luxury without luxurious prices with exclusive and spacious seating and complimentary beverages and newspapers plus priority boarding and a personal shopping service.

  19. Award-winning food

  20. Norfolkline offers a fantastic choice of tasty food across its onboard restaurant, deli, lounge bar and cafe bar at affordable prices.
