This is how your trip to England begins: calm, carefree, and full of anticipation. Forget the airport rush and luggage restrictions, simply drive your car onto the DFDS ferry in Dunkirk, settle by a window, and let the holiday mood take over. As the French coastline drifts away behind you, the famous white cliffs of Dover come into view ahead. And somewhere in that moment, it hits you. This isn\u2019t just a way to get to England. It\u2019s the perfect start to your upcoming adventure across the country.<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-element elementor-element-9356de7 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-eae-slider=\"47317\" data-id=\"9356de7\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0d91997 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0d91997\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>Why taking the ferry to England?<\/h2><p>Traveling by ferry across the sea to your next destination has something incredibly calming about it. Maybe you recognize it, like we do, from childhood memories. The car is packed, and early in the morning, your holiday begins the moment you step inside. The drive itself becomes part of the adventure, often with fun stops along the way. And if your journey happens to include a ferry to England, you\u2019ll likely feel the same sense of freedom on the water that we do. That unmistakable thrill of being at sea and on your way to something new.<\/p><p class=\"translation-block\">And the great thing about traveling by ferry? You can pack whatever you like, and there are no limits on liquids. In Dunkirk, you simply drive onto the ferry and make yourself comfortable on deck. Of course, there are still the usual checks, like passport control for France and England, but you\u2019ll get through them in no time. Once on board, there\u2019s plenty of room to move around, and the best part is that the view changes every minute. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dfds.travel\/travander\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Traveling with DFDS<\/a><\/strong> is relaxing. You might spend a moment on the open deck, gazing at the horizon, then head back inside to order a coffee and open your book.<\/p><p class=\"translation-block\">It\u2019s practical too. There are frequent departures, comfortable facilities on board, and you\u2019ll arrive in Dover feeling refreshed. Ready to hit the road straight away, whether it\u2019s to the iconic cliffs at Seven Sisters or to <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/travander.nl\/en\/best-things-to-do-in-rye-england\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the charming medieval town of Rye<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-d106f67 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-eae-slider=\"56481\" data-id=\"d106f67\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-9040bae\" data-eae-slider=\"21432\" data-id=\"9040bae\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6820ae5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"6820ae5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Op-naar-Engeland-met-de-boot.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-78983\" alt=\"Off to England by boat\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Op-naar-Engeland-met-de-boot.jpg 600w, https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Op-naar-Engeland-met-de-boot-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Op-naar-Engeland-met-de-boot-8x12.jpg 8w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Feel the wind in your hair<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-c514947\" data-eae-slider=\"88232\" data-id=\"c514947\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-94f8207 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"94f8207\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Overvaren-met-de-boot-van-Duinkerke-naar-Dover-1024x682.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-78978\" alt=\"Crossing by boat from Dunkirk to Dover\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Overvaren-met-de-boot-van-Duinkerke-naar-Dover-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Overvaren-met-de-boot-van-Duinkerke-naar-Dover-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Overvaren-met-de-boot-van-Duinkerke-naar-Dover-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Overvaren-met-de-boot-van-Duinkerke-naar-Dover-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Overvaren-met-de-boot-van-Duinkerke-naar-Dover-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Overvaren-met-de-boot-van-Duinkerke-naar-Dover.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Taking the DFDS ferry to England<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-element elementor-element-85eb6c8 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-eae-slider=\"84881\" data-id=\"85eb6c8\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-afaff77 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"afaff77\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>What to expect when traveling from Dunkirk to Dover by ferry<\/h2><p>The adventure starts even before you step on the ferry. As soon as you arrive in Dunkirk, follow the signs to the DFDS terminal. You\u2019ll go through two passport checks, a vehicle inspection, and then join the correct queue to board. Make sure your booking and passport are easily accessible, as they\u2019ll be checked at several points along the way.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-element elementor-element-d3df5b4 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-eae-slider=\"66655\" data-id=\"d3df5b4\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3af0d2c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3af0d2c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>Terminal arrival and check-in<\/h3><p>Check-in usually goes pretty smoothly. Make sure you\u2019re checked in at least an hour before departure. During peak season, it\u2019s wise to allow two hours. One of the great things about traveling by ferry is that if you arrive early at the terminal (more than two hours ahead) and there\u2019s space on an earlier sailing, you can often hop on that ferry instead. Saving you some waiting time! Everything is straightforward on-site, and there\u2019s plenty of staff to guide you from the checks to the boat.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-element elementor-element-0e8b06e e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-eae-slider=\"84952\" data-id=\"0e8b06e\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4038e58 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4038e58\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>Getting on board and onboard experience<\/h3><p>The moment you drive onboard, it\u2019s time to relax. Park your car in the designated row, grab your bag with essentials, and take the stairs or lift up to the lounges. Keep in mind that for safety reasons, you won\u2019t be able to access your car during the crossing, so bring everything you\u2019ll need upstairs. The journey from Dunkirk to Dover takes about two hours, just the right amount of time to get into holiday mode. Onboard, you\u2019ll find plenty of comfortable seating, a bistro with a view, a small tax-free shop, and of course the open deck for some fresh sea air.<\/p><p>If we may offer one valuable tip: book the premium lounge. Most travelers head to the bistro at the front of the ship, which can get quite busy. The premium lounge, on the other hand, is small and has limited availability, making it the perfect spot to enjoy the crossing in peace. Here, you can help yourself to unlimited hot and cold drinks, enjoy a tasty sandwich, and choose from a selection of snacks and fresh fruit. There are charging points and Wi-Fi available, and you\u2019ll also get priority boarding, allowing you to be among the first on and off the ship. It\u2019s a wonderful way to start, and end, your journey.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-section

Welcome to England! Perhaps the most exciting part of the entire crossing from France to England is arriving in Dover. Disembarking is quick and easy, but it\u2019s literally and figuratively a moment of adjustment: driving on the left! The route from the terminal puts you straight onto the left side of the road. After a passport check and customs control, it\u2019s time to enjoy your road trip through England. Fortunately, driving on the left comes quite naturally and most travelers adjust surprisingly quickly.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-75d9db8 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-eae-slider=\"99179\" data-id=\"75d9db8\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-ceb5909\" data-eae-slider=\"55261\" data-id=\"ceb5909\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-60af06d elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"60af06d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/DFDS-ferry-overtocht-Duinkerke-Dover.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-78977\" alt=\"DFDS ferry crossing Dunkirk Dover\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/DFDS-ferry-overtocht-Duinkerke-Dover.jpg 600w, https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/DFDS-ferry-overtocht-Duinkerke-Dover-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/DFDS-ferry-overtocht-Duinkerke-Dover-8x12.jpg 8w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Within 2 hours you will arrive in England<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-4355ea8\" data-eae-slider=\"15119\" data-id=\"4355ea8\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c48725e elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"c48725e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Vertrek-ferry-Dover-witte-krijtrotsen.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-78979\" alt=\"Departure ferry Dover white chalk cliffs\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Vertrek-ferry-Dover-witte-krijtrotsen.jpg 600w, https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Vertrek-ferry-Dover-witte-krijtrotsen-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Vertrek-ferry-Dover-witte-krijtrotsen-8x12.jpg 8w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Dover\u2019s White Cliffs near the Terminal<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-element elementor-element-3b291f2 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-eae-slider=\"1139\" data-id=\"3b291f2\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-62bfc0f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"62bfc0f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>Practical tips for a smooth ferry crossing<\/h2><p class=\"translation-block\">Before you set off on the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dfds.travel\/travander\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ferry to England<\/a><\/strong>, it\u2019s helpful to keep these tips in mind for an enjoyable crossing:<\/p><ul><li><p>Choose a quiet time: Ferries are often less busy on weekdays and in the early morning. This way, you can avoid long check-in lines and easily find a comfortable spot onboard.<\/p><\/li><li><p>Arrive on time: Make sure to be at the DFDS terminal 60 to 90 minutes before departure (up to 120 minutes during peak season). This gives you plenty of time for check-in, passport control, and finding your lane, ensuring you start your journey relaxed and stress-free.<\/p><\/li><li><p>Smart luggage packing: Bring a separate bag with everything you\u2019ll need onboard, such as your passport, snacks, a book, charger, and maybe an extra jacket. Your car will remain locked during the crossing, so take everything you want to use with you.<\/p><\/li><li><p>Fuel up or charge beforehand: Fill up your car before entering the port, or check for nearby charging stations if you\u2019re driving an electric vehicle. A full tank or battery makes for a more relaxed start to your journey.<\/p><\/li><li><p class=\"translation-block\">Prevent seasickness: Are you prone to seasickness? Just in case, bring ginger tablets, wristbands, or light snacks. The crossing from Dunkirk to Dover is usually smooth, but it\u2019s better to be prepared.<\/p><\/li><li><p>Navigating in England: In the UK, you drive on the left side of the road. If this feels daunting, or if you\u2019re traveling alone, set a reminder on your dashboard and plan your route in advance, especially useful if you\u2019re continuing your journey right after arrival. Also, check whether your destination is in a toll or low-emission zone, as these aren\u2019t always clearly marked in England.<\/p><\/li><li><p>Roaming: Keep in mind that the United Kingdom is no longer part of the EU. Check your data plan beforehand for potential roaming charges, and make sure to bring a credit card or debit card.<\/p><ul><li><p class=\"translation-block\">No internet in your plan? <strong><a
