More than 225,000 passengers are expected to travel through the Port of Dover for this year’s Easter getaway.

From Good Friday to Easter Monday, about 40,000 cars and 2,000 coaches will head for France, Belgium and the Netherlands.

General manager of business development at the port, Barbara Buczekcorr, said: “This Easter, Dover ferry passengers will find a quality service and a dedicated team creating the perfect start to their Easter holidays.

“Dover offers customers a flexible and convenient way of crossing the Channel and is well placed for those travelling to northern France, Belgium, Holland and beyond.

Customers can rest assured that the Port of Dover will be working hard with its ferry partners to keep the Port and its customers moving.”
