The shortest crossings are the quickest and cheapest. So Dover/Calais is very popular. And the EuroTunnel train from Folkstone/Calais is effectively the same, but quicker (35 minutes compared with 90 minutes) and more expensive.However you then have to factor in the drive to and from the crossing points, which costs both time and money. Hence a longer more expensive crossing may suit you better. For example the 10 hour crossing from Rotterdam to Hull is probably more time-effective than driving from Rotterdam to Calais and Dover to Hull.Other factors:
- Frequency of crossing. If there are only 3 ferries a day, then missing the ferry is a big deal. There are often 3 trains an hour, so no big deal to miss one, and indeed one often can get on an earlier train.
- Seasickness: some of these crossings (North Sea, Bay of Biscay) can be rough. 10 hours on a heaving ship may not suit you. Hence we do usually take the train.
- Some folks treat the sea voyage as part of the holiday; it can be fun.
- Some longer crossings are over-night, and the ferry will have the possibility to book a cabin for a few 10s of pounds so with any luck you can get a good night's sleep. For folks with limited holiday time this saving of a night can be a boon.
