Dover Ferries
Currently the following Dover ferry lines use the port:
LD Lines (four daily sailings to Boulogne and two daily sailings to Dieppe);
P&O Ferries (25 daily sailings to Calais);
SeaFrance (20 daily sailings to Calais); and
Norfolk Line (11 daily sailings to Dunkerque).
However, ferry service has been cut in the past several years. P&O’s sailings to Boulogne and Zeebrugge have been withdrawn since 1993; SNCC withdrew three of their sailings when the Channel Tunnel was opened; Stena Line merged 20 daily sailings into P&O’s current operation back in ’98; Hoverspeed went out of business in 2005; and SpeedFerries stopped operating in 2008.
One thing unlikely to change and that is the Port and the ferries will remain a charming, popular way for tourists to see and travel across to the continent. The port is the largest, friendliest ferry port in the UK. Historically, Dover has been one of the premier seaports in the world, in the past couple of decades, authorities there have been hard at work modernizing it, making it as pleasurable and efficient for travellers as possible. As a result, the Port and the ferries now boast facilities which are amazing-looking and state-of-the-art, and they also boast an award-winning customer service.
