P&o Ferries - Day Trips
About
P&O Ferries – Day Trips offers an effortless, scenic way to get from Dover in England to Calais in France and beyond. With up to fifteen sailings each day, the 90‑minute crossing is quick enough to fit a lunch, a coffee or a bottle of wine, yet long enough to enjoy onboard entertainment, a range of dining options, world‑class duty‑free shopping and a selection of upgrades such as a Club Lounge or Pet Lounge. Flexible ticket options – Standard, Standard Flexi or Fully Flexible – let you choose the level of flexibility you need, while the Pet Lounge and Pet‑friendly cabins ensure that dogs (and other animals bound by regulations) can travel comfortably. The route’s convenience, combined with a modern fleet and friendly staff, makes P&O Ferries a popular choice for families, couples, solo travellers and business travellers alike. From the moment you step onto the ship, you will find a welcoming environment: an open kitchen, children’s play area, sports and game consoles, and a range of live entertainment throughout the crossing. Whether you’re simply heading to Calais to explore the French capital or embarking on a short break to a nearby seaside town, P&O’s day‑trip ferries offer a hassle‑free, efficient and enjoyable experience.
