Boarding a Seafrance Ferry
It is very easy to board and exit the ferry whether you are in a car or

You won’t have any difficulties finding the
Seafrance ferry terminal in
Dover. It is well signposted from both the M2 and the M20 ferry terminal
and upon arrival in Dover.
Once you have checked in and cleared all security checks, you should
proceed to your allocated lane. A crew member will tell you where to
park your car on the vehicle deck. Before you leave your car you should
make sure that you left it in first gear and with the handbrake on. You
should take everything you will need for the crossing with you since you
won’t be allowed to enter the vehicle deck during the crossing.
If you don’t have a car you can get the train to Dover Priory (only 2
hours from London) and you can hop on the regular shuttle bus for just
£1 and that will get you directly to the ferry terminal.
Once on the ferry you can just relax and enjoy the journey.
