For passengers travelling from Dover or Calais during the summer holiday, the busiest days are:
Friday 21 July and Saturday 22 July
Saturday 29 July and Sunday 30 July.
To avoid queues at the port entrance, travellers are asked not to arrive more than 3 hours before their scheduled sailing time.
It's essential to stay updated with road traffic information by visiting Traffic News for Kent or Traffic News for Calais. Passengers should bring enough water and refreshments with them. In case of delays, continue your travel to The Port of Dover or The Port of Calais, where the agent will assist with transferring to the next available sailing.
Passport checks are conducted upon entering the port and before boarding, so have your passports ready to help keep traffic moving smoothly.
