Dover – Calais
Take a day trip on our Dover-Calais route and you could be mixing your own chocolate in Bruges, walking the sandy dunes of Le Touquet, exploring the historic town of Dunkirk, or browsing the freshest seafood at the markets of Boulogne-Sur-Mer – all within an hour and a half’s drive of the port.

Hull – Rotterdam
Imagine waking up to the sound of the sea, sipping a cup of coffee as you take an alfresco breakfast by the green woodlands, or rising early for a spot of angling before lunch. A caravan holiday is just the trick for a proper getaway – and where better to pitch up than in the stunning surrounds of the Netherlands? With everything you need right there with you, you’re free to explore as far or near as you please, so the whole family will return home relaxed and refreshed. Take your caravan to Holland with P&O Ferries.
Cairnryan – Larne
Whether you’re there to explore the waterfalls and forest walks, take a road trip around the craggy cliffs of the Causeway Coastal Route or lose yourself in the picturesque world of Game of Thrones, Northern Ireland is the ideal summer destination. Enjoy a quick trip to the long pints and bustling streets of Belfast, retreat to the resorts with a view for a trip of relaxation and leisurely rounds of golf, or take the whole family for an adventurous expedition into the wild scenery of this majestic area.
