Destination: Dunkirk

Dunkirk started life in the 8th century as a simple fishing harbour. It became famous as a haven for pirates who preyed on shipping in the North Sea - the most celebrated being the local hero, Jean Bart. Today's the dunes of Dunkirk make it a seaside resort. The city is remarkably green for a major international port and industrial centre, handling bulk cargoes from all over the world, as well as being a ferry port for cars and freight with many lorries crossing between the UK and Europe.

Dunkirk, just 2 hours from Dover with direct links to the A16 and A25 motorways, is more convenient than Calais for many French destinations. It is also better situated for Belgium and Holland as well as providing shorter drive times to Germany, Switzerland and beyond. What’s more, Norfolkline is the only ferry company sailing to Dunkirk so there is less congestion and traffic in the port. This means you’re on your way more quickly and the roads are a lot quieter.

Dover

Dover Terminals are conveniently situated just off the A20 at the Western Docks and are clearly signposted. Car parking for both port terminals is adjacent to Cruise Terminal 1.
