channel ferry
Dover-Calais transport ship
A channel ferry is a passenger and vehicle ferry that crosses a channel—a narrow body of water between two landmasses.
The term most often refers to ferries crossing the English Channel between Britain and continental Europe: We took the channel ferry from Dover to Calais.
These routes compete with the Channel Tunnel for cross-channel traffic.
