The new P&0 ferries Spirit of Britian and Spirt of France are supposed to be replacing the old pride of Calais and pride of Dover. However the older ferries hit the nail on the head and keept P&0 ahead of its competitors. The pride of Calais is still sailing and I would prefer to still travel on her even though... More

We regularly cross the Channel and prefer to use the Ferry because, after a long drive to Dover, it is good to have a rest before the long drive in France.

We've been on P & O a few times now and never had a bad ride. The check-in, embarking and disembarking were always smooth and courteous. The facilities in the ferry were adequate and the food was just like any other quick and public places. While we would use P & O again, when going east I tend to see... More
