DFDS have released the following important information regarding travel through the Port of Dover during the February half term:
Key Information for Travel:
Boatyard/Cruise Terminal Update: This year, the boatyard and cruise terminal will not be used during half term. Coaches are required to head directly to the Eastern Docks.
