Cross-Channel Services

There are numerous ways to cross the Channel, and although the ending of the "duty free" allowance has made some of the fares a little more expensive, there are still some very cheap deals to be had.

The traditional ferries usually offer the best value and at only around an hour and a half for the Dover - Calais crossing, they are the first choice of many booze-cruisers.

However, for a faster crossing, the Channel Tunnel should not be overlooked. At around 30 minutes, it is the method of choice for those wanting a booze 'dash' rather than a 'cruise'. Whatever your preferred method of travel, there are often good deals for afternoon or day trips and it's worth shopping around.
