English Channel ferry routes
Compare the whole journey between Britain and France: the drive to the port, time at sea and the road or rail connection after arrival. Dover is convenient for a short crossing to northern France, while western Channel ports can put you closer to Normandy and Brittany.

Choose the crossing that fits your journey
A longer sea crossing can save a considerable onward drive. When comparing a daytime sailing with an overnight option, include accommodation and your arrival time in the decision. For foot travel, check the actual operator and departure: passenger acceptance and the journey through the terminal differ between services.
Normandy and Brittany
Compare the arrival port with your final destination, especially when considering Caen, Cherbourg, Dieppe, Le Havre, Roscoff or St Malo.
Channel Islands
Check Jersey and Guernsey separately. Their operators, terminals and inter-island arrangements differ; the route guides explain current service notices.
