Calais is just is just 55 minutes from London so it's the ideal place for a day trip - perfect for a spot of shopping or indulging in some French cuisine.

If retail therapy is on the cards, our two-bag luggage allowance means you needn't hold back at the shops.

If you can’t wait for a frites fix, you’ll find everything from flaky morning pastries to snacks, meals and drinks at Café Métropole, our onboard bar buffet.

So grab a bite to eat, then sit back and enjoy the view as we speed through the Kent countryside.

Otherwise, use our free onboard wi-fi to keep your friends in the loop with your cross-Channel adventure.
