Cheap Cross Channel Ferries

The English Channel (French: la Manche, the "sleeve") is an arm of the Atlantic Ocean that separates Great Britain from northern France, and joins the North Sea to the Atlantic. It is about 560 km (350 mi) long and varies in width from 240 km (150 mi) at its widest, to only 34 km (21 mi) in the Strait of Dover.

Tourists have a good choice of options for crossing the English Channel from the European mainland. Depending upon the departure point, taking a high speed train or a ferry can be a faster, cheaper, more comfortable and eco-friendly choice than flying.
