Before boarding the ferry, passengers can enjoy a bite to eat or a refreshing drink in the port’s café. A bureau de change provides passengers the opportunity to purchase French currency. Passengers wishing to grab last minute travel essentials for their ferry trip will find a good range of confectionary and newspapers in the convenience store.

Delicious French cuisine is available all on vessels, as well as a special children’s menu to keep little sailors content. There is also entertainment onboard the ferry, so passengers can relax and enjoy the crossing to France.
