Award-winning European ferry operator connecting the UK and Ireland with France, the Netherlands and beyond across a network of popular cross-channel and North Sea routes.
A day trip to France from Dover is one of the most straightforward European escapes available to UK travellers, and at from €63 per car carrying up to 5 people one way, it's a cost-effective one too. The short crossing to Calais or Dunkirk puts northern France within easy reach - Calais itself has a market worth visiting, while the road south opens up Boulogne, Montreuil, and the Opal Coast. Free Wi-Fi is available on board during the crossing, and food and drink are served throughout. The drive-on, drive-off format means no complicated transfers at either end. A practical option for families or groups wanting a spontaneous taste of France without the cost of flights or a hotel.
Travelling from France to the UK by ferry opens up easy access to southern England, and these short break fares make a 1-day crossing from €63 per car and up to 5 people one way genuinely affordable for a family or group. For a 3-day break the price starts from €121 per car and up to 5 people, and a 5-day break from €165. Routes connect French ports with Dover and Newhaven, giving travellers from northern France a straightforward drive-on, drive-off crossing with no need to fly. On board you'll find food and drink available, free Wi-Fi, and the crossing is short enough to feel effortless. A well-priced way for French travellers to explore the English south coast or head further into the UK.
The overnight sailing from Newcastle to Amsterdam is a mini cruise in its own right, and with 50% off cabins this is a compelling way to cross the North Sea in comfort. Prices start from €79 per person based on 4 people sharing an inside cabin, with a car included one way. Newcastle's quayside is one of the great embarkation points - there's a sense of occasion about leaving from there as the city lights recede behind you. By morning you're in Amsterdam, a city that rewards time spent on foot along its canals. The return crossing gives you a proper night's rest before arriving back in the UK. Onboard facilities make the journey part of the experience rather than simply a crossing.

The crossing connects southern England to northern France, providing access to destinations across France and continental Europe.

Sail into Newcastle on a mini cruise starting from €79 per person. The overnight ferry from Amsterdam arrives in one of England's most energetic northern cities - a place that rewards exploration with its riverside Quayside, strong independent food and music scene, and easy rail links to the wider north. Travelling by ferry means no airport queues and a proper sense of arrival. The return sailing closes the loop neatly, making this a clean, well-priced short break from the Netherlands.
Sail from Newhaven in East Sussex to the Norman port of Dieppe from €137 per car and two people one way. This quieter Channel route lands you directly in Dieppe, a characterful fishing town with a decent Saturday market, good seafood, and easy onward access to Normandy's historic coast and countryside. A longer crossing than Dover-Calais, but one that drops you further into France from the moment you arrive - useful if Normandy or Paris is your ultimate destination.
Travel by car from Jersey to the walled port of St Malo on the north Brittany coast, with prices starting from £145 per car and two people one way. The high-speed crossing is short, with free Wi-Fi on board so there is time to plan your visit before you dock. St Malo repays even a brief stay - the ramparts offer wide sea views, the old town's bistros serve proper Breton cooking, and the harbour fills with the kind of quiet energy that encourages you to slow down. Foot passenger options are also available on this route.

Set sail on a short break to the UK and enjoy a getaway for two or a family escape. Prices start from €63 per car plus up to five people, making it a solid-value option for those crossing from the Continent. Choose from 3-day or 5-day itineraries, with the freedom to explore at your own pace. Food and drink are available on board, pets are welcome, and free Wi-Fi means you can plan your days before you arrive. A straightforward, flexible way to experience Britain without the fuss of flights.
