Speed Ferries Dover to Boulogne
 The most direct route for travelling
between Britain and France is from Dover to Boulogne, and with Speed
Ferries you can depart from the UK and
arrive in northern France just 50 minutes later. The benefits of taking the fast
ferry to Boulogne include far less congestion than sailing to the other ports
such as Calais as cross Channel freight traffic goes via Calais as well as a
higher volume of traffic. At Boulogne you can avoid the more congested
ports.
