France is served by numerous services from England to France:
• P&O Ferries - operate freight and passenger services from Dover to Calais.
• SeaFrance - operate freight and passenger services from Dover to Calais.
• DFDS Seaways - operate freight and passenger services from Dover to Dunkerque.
• LD Lines - operate freight and passenger services from Portsmouth to Le Havre.

• Condor Ferries - operate freight and passenger services from Portsmouth to Cherbourg, Poole to St Malo and Weymouth to St Malo.
Prices vary considerably depending on which route you choose. Generally the cheapest route is the short sea route across the English Channel which is Dover to Calais, so it is worth comparing prices before you decide which is the most suitable route to France.
Passengers travelling from Dover by ferry to France go through French passport/identity card checks in the UK before boarding, rather than on arrival in France. Passengers travelling from all other UK ports to France go through French passport/identity card checks on arrival in France.
There are also connections from Ireland to France:
• Brittany Ferries - operate ferry services from Cork to Roscoff
• Celtic Link Ferries - operate ferry services
