Ferry Travel
 Ferries can be a most convenient and enjoyable way to get around Europe. Ferry travel can range from a quick hop across the Channel to a long, overnight trip on a large ferry with accomodations that rival a cruise ship. One of our most enjoyable trips involved an overnight ferry from Copenhagen to Oslow. We even took a ferry once when we thought we were on a train - we booked overnight rail accomodations from Stockholm to Brussels, and our rail car was swallowed into the cargo bay of a big ferry for a portion of the trip!
We use ferries regularly to Ireland, as we prefer to take our own car from the UK whenever we have the time to do so. There are also plenty of ferries from the UK to France and other points in Europe, so if you don't mind changing the side of the road, it is really convenient to get all over Europe using ferries for part of your journey.
For those of you wishing to travel between the ports around Europe, one of the two ferry booking engines below should be helpful. The first one lets you choose a route and select the best times and rates. The second one allows you to find fares for specific journeys:
