LD Lines Ferries - Dover Boulogne ferry crossings
Dover Boulogne ferries with LD Lines.
LD Lines has announced that it is withdrawing the car and passenger
ferry service between Dover and Boulogne as from September 5th 2010.
Bookings made for travel after that date will be refunded or
alternatives offered. Please contact LD Lines direct on 0800 917 1201 if calling
from the UK, or 0844 576 8836 from Ireland.
LD Lines is currently the only cross channel ferry operator to offer a Dover
Boulogne crossing on this route.
The conventional ferry crossings take 1 hour 45 minutes quayside to
 quayside. LD Lines ferry service from Dover to Boulogne is operated by
their ships the "Norman Spirit" and "Norman Trader". Between
them the two ships operate up to 14 return crossings daily.
Both ships were launched
in 2006, so enjoy the latest in facilities and technology to ensure an enjoyable
crossing. These superb new ships are capable of speeds of up to
22 knots (about 25 mph), and their ultra-modern stabilizers mean optimum comfort
whatever the weather.
There's plenty of room on board for relaxation, including a magnificent
panoramic lounge. The elegant surroundings of the bar and restaurant are more in
keeping with a cruise ship than a ferry. Use the trip for some shopping in the
boutique and leave the little ones in the children's play-areas.
The ships sail from Dover's Eastern Docks, right next to the end of the A2
and A20, so easy to find and well signposted. If you already have tickets you
just follow the signs to the LD Lines' check-in kiosks. Tickets on arrival can
be purchased in the ticket office on the right as you enter the port area. Dover
is about an hour's drive down the M20/A20 from its junction with the M25.
Boulogne is one of the more attractive channel ports, with an interesting old
town at the top of the hill. The A16 to Paris and Rouen (or Calais and Lille in
the other direction) passes by the town, while there is a dual carriageway
connection to the A26 for drivers heading east towards Reims or Aachen. |
