Crossings between Britain and France are relatively short, with the most popular routes taking around 60 minutes on average.
All cross Channel ferries are equipped with bars, shops, restaurants and video arcades to keep adults and children busy. With these attractions, plus affordable prices, ferries are an excellent travel option compared to confined and expensive aircraft flights - especially for families.
The Channel Tunnel is, of course, another option. After many false dawns the tunnel opened in 1996, offering a direct, high-speed train link between London and Paris.
Regardless of which you choose, both options cater for passengers travelling on foot as well as those in a vehicle - whether that be a car, van, coach or lorry.
The Dover to Calais route is one of the busiest worldwide. Every year ferries on this route transport thousands of travellers and tonnes of freight across the Channel.
However, not all Channel ferries end up in France. Other connections from Britain, from cities such as Edinburgh, Newcastle and Hull, travel to mainland Europe - including destinations such as Bilbao and Zeebrugge.
Cross Channel Ferries also connect Britain with the Channel Islands at ports on Jersey and Guernsey.
Away from Channel ferries, there is a selection of busy routes connecting Ireland with docks in Scotland, Wales and England.
