I travel by coach

285 Avenue du Mérite Maritime – Calais
If you are already a coach passenger when you arrive at the port, just sit back and relax, the driver will take care of everything!

Stage 1

Registration

The coach driver will check passengers in with the ferry company. You will need to show your ID to complete the check-in process. You will not need to leave the coach.

Stage 2

Border controls

The driver will take you directly to the French and then British border controls. Get off the coach and follow the route to the ticket offices. Have your passport ready before getting off the coach.

Stage 3

Boarding

Your coach will park at the designated boarding point. It will board at the signal of the ferry company agent.

Check-in: passengers must check in 60 minutes before the ship’s departure time and up to 2 hours before departure depending on the company during busy periods (summer, end-of-year holidays or Easter holidays). Please check directly with the company with which you have booked your crossing.

The Port of Calais offers travelers services before and after boarding checks. The ferry terminal, at the entrance to the port, is recognisable by its ochre cladding, designed as a tribute to the famous Calais lace.

• Before recording:

A self-service restaurant called “Le Bistrot du Port” is located in the old terminal, a few minutes from the ferry terminal – open for lunch only.

• After check-in and border controls:

At the Channel Tunnel terminal, take advantage of the many services available in the Calais building – home to the Duty Free Store and Calais Coffee Shop – as well as at our various service points.

Getting around the port is easy!
