General European Ferry Information

The busiest seaway in the world, the English Channel, connects Great Britain and mainland Europe sailing mainly to French ports, such as Calais, Boulogne, Cherbourg-Octeville, Caen, St Malo and Le Havre. Ferries from Great Britain also sail to Belgium, Denmark, The Netherlands, Norway, Spain and Ireland. Some ferries carry mainly tourist traffic, but most also carry freight, and some are exclusively for the use of freight lorries.

Large cruiseferries sail in the Baltic Sea between Finland, Sweden, Germany and Estonia, and from Italy to Albania and Greece. In many ways, these ferries are like cruise ships, but they can also carry hundreds of cars on car decks. In Britain, car-carrying ferries are sometimes referred to as RORO (roll-on, roll-off) for the ease by which vehicles can board and leave.

Types of Ferry Available to Book through Computicket.co.uk

Ferry designs depend on the length of the route, the passenger or vehicle capacity required, speed requirements and the water conditions the craft must deal with.

	Hovercraft Mark 3 SR-N4 Hovercraft, DoverHovercraft were developed in the 1960s to carry cars. The hovercraft was superseded by catamarans which are nearly as fast and are less affected by sea and weather conditions. Only one service now remains, between Portsmouth and the Isle of Wight.
	Catamaran Ferry Catamarans are normally associated with high-speed ferry services. Stena Line operates the largest catamarans in the world. These vessels, displacing 19,638 tonnes, are larger than most catamarans and can accommodate 375 passenger cars.
	Ro-Ro Ferry Roll-on/roll-off ferries (RORO) are large, conventional ferries named for the ease by which vehicles can board and leave. This is the most popular ferry used in Europe. Many large ferry companies use Ro-Ro Ferries including P&O, Stena Line, Sea France and Transmanche Ferries.
	Cruise Ferry A cruiseferry is a ship that combines the features of a cruise ship with a RoRo ferry. These are often used for long distance over-night journeys. Many of the long-haul European ferry journeys departing from Northern England use this type of ferry including some Northlink ferry services.
