UK Ferry Travel and Ferry Crossings
	Ferry Travel is a great alternative to flying, especially for families or groups where there can be substantive savings. Check in can be just 30 minutes or less before departure and once boarded you have the run of the ship, on most routes there are shops, restaurants and bars and for the longer routes onboard entertainment and cabins are available. Tips: If you're looking for the cheapest fares, check prices for sailings in the early hours of the morning, which is when most people don't want to travel! As with all transport, there are peak times when prices are at their most expensive and being flexible about dates can also help. Dover is the closest point in Britain to Europe and crossings from Dover are often the cheapest way to cross the channel. The Ferry takes about an hour to cross the Channel.
