Travel from UK to France by Norfolkline ferries through the convenient Dover - Dunkirk route and save your sailing time. The journey doesn't end with the comfortable ferry travel but you can do a lot once you reach Dunkirk ferry port.

When you get to Dunkirk you don’t need to travel far to find a host of things to do, whether you’re looking for a romantic break, a golf break or some shopping therapy!

The port has museums, an aquarium, a zoo and there are the famous dunes (Dunkerque means ‘Church of the Dunes’) and 15 kilometres of sandy beaches.

For shop-a-holics there’s a large shopping centre in the middle of the city with over 400 shops and free parking for 1,000 cars.

Quaint villages offer beautiful churches and fascinating museums set in wonderful countryside. With numerous bars and cafes you’ll be able to enjoy some amazing French cuisine.

A short drive away is the Belgium border, so if you like chocolate, and who doesn’t, it shouldn't be missed.
