I'd say the Ferry is alright. It was nice to be able to walk around and shop during this extremely long bus ride to Amsterdam. The food selections have nothing but Mayo. Seriously, I don't get it. But A++ to the gentlemen in the "Food Court." Not only did they speak fluent English, the gentlemen with the tattoos made my husband and I laugh hysterically. read more

See all

All clerks speak fluent English and they've been amiable each trip out from here. * You can park your car in the free parking zone without much worry about security. * You can purchase your ferry tickets upon arrival. The ferries depart approximately every hour or so. (Pay with cash or credit card) * The terminal has a restaurant on the 2nd floor (with a nice view) so you can sit and enjoy a meal or a snack with the family while you wait for the ferry, if you missed the previous one's boarding time. * There's an ATM at the entrance, immediately to the left when you enter through the glass doors. ***** Make sure each traveler has their passport in their possession when boarding. ***** The boarding agents are very adamant and inquisitive about your trip to England prior to boarding the ferry. read more

Calais Ferry Terminal - Front - Fast Food Near Me - Calais, 62

As someone who has recently taken up long distance hiking, I was intrigued by the fact that the London to Rome pilgrimage trail runs right through this terminal. But once I experienced actually going through the station, it lost its luster for sure. First of all, if you have a car, the experience seems like it would be much better. But as a foot passenger, they make it clear that the terminal is not meant for you. First of all, the walk to the foot passenger terminal from the heart of Calais is a long one. Taking a taxi from the train station is a much better option. Also there is not much leeway built into the time they say to arrive at the terminal. There's about ten minutes of buffer from the time on the ticket to the time the boat starts loading. Once shuttled on the bus from the terminal to customs, security are kind of douchey. I get that Calais is kind of newsworthy in the whole immigration debate but I have crossed through recent warzones (Bosnia in 2003) with less of a critical eye on my documents. It was like people who walk to the ferry were immediately under suspicion. Overall, the terminal seemed to function well and the ferry departed on time. Seeing the Cliffs Of Dover in the United Kingdom from the sea was an amazing experience and worth most of the aggravation. But I can now see why generations of people before me were glad to see it. Leaving Calais behind was pretty amazing. read more

The ferry is a great experience. For the kiddos it's an adventure. For the adults, it's a great way just to relax. The food is a bit overpriced, but still decent. There is an arcade that the kids could spend all day in, and of course the shopping onboard is pretty good. I definitely recommend P&O Ferries! read more
