  • My 25 minutes video of the crossing between Dover in England and Calais in France by truck using a P&O ferry-boat, The Pride of Burgundy...
    The video includes images from Dover surroundings, Dover city, Dover docks, the whole check in process, inside the Ferry and Calais docks.

    Ive been on a ferry quite few times going from the uk to poland. The experience you get in a truck is completly different than in a normal car. For a truck you have to go through some different thing lile weighting the truck. I went in the p&o ferry once or twies however i use the dfds more often. Prefebly the p&o ferry is more comfy for me than the dfds but more dfds ferries go to dunkrik and all the p&o go to calies.

    You can travel alone on the ferry to France at 16. It's so so cheap! Get the train to Dover, cycle down to Dover Eastern Docks and then travel on the ferry. Travel with a bicycle it's alot cheaper it's actually £15 to Dunkerque one way and £19.50 to Calais one way.

  • @MeinDeutsch1
    @MeinDeutsch1 12 лет назад

    Personally, I love taking the ferry! It's a great experience, mind it is abit expensive onboard it is if you get the early morning ferry and buy breakfast lol! Better than flying anyday!

  • @Pumizo
    @Pumizo  13 лет назад

    @TGXtrucker It depends, usually on a busy day like that one you took around 20 minutes to do the whole check-in process. The big waiting happens when a Ferry it's not ready or docked. However there are several boats and companies operating that canal crossing. Usually you take 2 hours to do the whole crossing.

  • @MeinDeutsch1
    @MeinDeutsch1 11 лет назад

    Excellent video, I will travelling to Dunkerque from Dover in a couple of months. I will be cycling and I will be arriving on the train. I will be filming the journey from Dover Priory Station and throughout the whole trip, cycling down to the port, checking in, boarding the boat and locking my bike up and touring the boat. You should check it out

    As an ex truck driver of 40 years, 27 of which were international, I've lost count of the times I've been through Dover. I've seen it change in lots of ways over time, not all for the good.

    • @Pumizo
      @Pumizo  6 лет назад

      Thank you for your words. I'm an ex driver too, but only with 10 years in duty. I have a lot of respect for people like you, because everything was different back then and harder too.

  • @AR123457
    @AR123457 13 лет назад

    Very nice, I prefer the Ferry to the train any day ... and P&O are great too ! POB is a nice ship, a conversion I believe .. not as nice as the Pride of Calais though ! A very old ship, shame they're replacing her.

  • @fabiano1041
    @fabiano1041 13 лет назад

    very good video, I can tell you that of all the videos I've seen on the port of Dover and Calais, this one is the most complete video now showing up your arrival and entry into port, their entry into the ship, and the interior of the ship had not seen the inside, I appreciate this video so well made, very complete and enjoyed a ship that has everything in lots of fun, food and even shopping.
    I wonder how long it takes to cross from uk to france?

  • @Pumizo
    @Pumizo  13 лет назад +1

    @TGXtrucker Thanks. Here at this company we usually stay out for 2 weeks, I mean we depart on Sunday night or Monday morning and arrive around Friday of the next week. Sometimes we stay out for 3 weeks but it's rare. It tuff to be away so much time and also hard to be alone but after some time you get used to it. It's also a matter of loving what you do and also to be well pay for such hard job.

    What do you normally do on the ferry? Good meal or catch up on sleep?

    • @Pumizo
      @Pumizo  6 лет назад

      Usually this cross takes around 2 hours, so the ferry doesn't have cabins for drivers. They are big ships with lots of bars, restaurants and shops. There is a special area for truckers were they can take a shower, have a meal on a exclusive truckers restaurants, have a break at the lounge, etc

    do you have to prove you're eligible when you go into the commercial food court? I saw similar on myferrielink bit i wasn't in the mood for food!

    • @Pumizo
      @Pumizo  8 лет назад +1

      Depends on the ferry operator. Most of then demand the check in ferry ticket to prove that you are a truck driver. Food is cheaper, thats why they ask.
