With seven super-ferries on the Dover to Calais route
P&O Ferries (previously P&O Stena Line) now offer the biggest and
best ships with the most sailings everyday. During peak hours there's a
departure every 30 minutes, so no waiting at the port, and the crossing
only takes between one and a quarter and one and a half hours.
On January 21st 2011 the largest ferry ever on the Dover Calais route
joined the P&O fleet. The Spirit of Britain is a truly spectacular ship
which makes the ferry experience even more a part of your holiday. The Spirit
of Britain was joined in early 2012 by its magnificent sister ship the Spirit
of France.
The
Spirit of Britain and the Spirit of France are the largest ferries operating
in the English Channel, accommodating 2,000 passengers. Yhey have room for
195 passenger cars and 180 trucks. The 11-deck Spirit of Britain and Spirit
of France, spanning 700 feet (213 meters) from bow to stern, were built
with special attention to the environment and energy efficiency. The streamlined
hull design reduces fuel consumption by 50 percent compared to current ferries
half the size plying between England and France, the shipbuilder said. So
now you can take the P&O ferry crossing to France and help the environment.
