cross-channel ferry
Strait-crossing boat service
A cross-channel ferry is a passenger and vehicle ferry that operates across a narrow body of water between two landmasses—most commonly the English Channel between Britain and continental Europe.
These ferries transport cars, trucks, and foot passengers on regular scheduled routes: We took the cross-channel ferry from Dover to Calais.
The term occasionally applies to similar services across other channels or straits.
