This ship is no longer operated by P&O Ferries.
Despite being one of the smallest vessels in the P&O fleet, the Pride of Burgundy provides the perfect setting to relax and pass the time whilst making your short journey. You can grab a bite to eat, have a drink at the bar, gain some retail therapy and even let the kids run around and burn some energy in the designated play areas. This state of the art ferry can carry up to 1,420 and 530 vehicles on each of its journeys. The amenities and crew areas are spread over eight decks, with the ship measuring in with a length of nearly 180 metres.
Due to the short nature of the journeys there are no passenger cabin options available. However, reserved seating can be booked. Club Class Lounge seating can be pre-booked if you fancy a little bit of extra luxury whilst crossing the channel.
You’ll find options for both food and drink aboard this P&O service. If you want to grab a quick bite to eat, enjoy something at the bar or visit the coffee shop, there are options to suit everyone’s tastes and pockets.
If you are in need of some holiday necessities, a few souvenirs or even just fancy treating yourself to a little something, the on board shopping options provide you with the ideal opportunity to take advantage of lower than high street prices. As well as the usual books, magazine and snacks, you can benefit from huge savings on items from beauty brands to your favourite tipple.
Commission free foreign exchange is available to all passengers from the bureau de change and ATM machines are located throughout the vessel.
Young travellers will have plenty to do and keep them occupied on their voyage. A dedicated kids play area will allow the little ones to burn some energy and have a run around. The onboard video arcade will allow both small and big kids to be part of the fun.
P&O ferries are specially adapted to cater for those travellers with restricted mobility. The Pride of Burgundy’s shopping, dining and seating areas are all fully accessible and wheelchair friendly.

"Immigrant problem"
On the last day of our holiday we needed to come to Calais two days before to take lateral test . Most of the campsites are closed in Calais . When we went to shopping with our motor home three immigrants got into our motorhome boot This terrifying experience will never let me stay in Calais in future. In Calais poor signs at the port. Luckily we were helped by the French custom office who let us follow his car. General facilities are good in the ship. But something has to be gone to tackle the immigrants so customer feel safe. French police should be more on the streets.
"Pride of France"
Excellent trip in such strange times courteous and helpful skeleton staff stay safe everyone 🙏❤️
"Cheap way to get home"
I travelled as a foot passenger between Calais and Dover. The checkin process and transfer to the ship from the terminal went smoothly as we were a small group. The ship itself is in a bit of a state and could do with some maintenance both externally and internally. I didn’t feel safe seeing the amount of rust on the lifeboat davits prior to boarding. Announcements were often difficult to hear even though I was in a relatively quiet area. It left me guess what had been said and wondering if there was an emergency onboard, whether critical information would be heard over the PA. Staff were friendly and the disembark procedure also went smoothly in Dover.
"Great, easy experience"
Really happy with our experience, arrived at the Dover terminal almost 4 hours before we were due to sail, the young lady greeted us warmly and impressed my wife by knowing our names (due to vehicle reg recognition on approach), she very quickly checked us in and got us on an early sailing, 15 minutes, we were directed straight on. only downside was we were one of the last on a busy ferry with Busloads of school children, junior football teams, which meant we couldn't find a seat which was a bit of a blow as I had hoped to break up my drive from Liverpool via Birmingham onto Disneyland Paris with a quick sleep. Not to worry though. Our return journey 3 nights later was exactly the same with us allowed to get an earlier crossing, this time we were spoilt for choice as there was only a handful of people on the ferry. would definitely use this service again. Thanks to all.
" delayed boat,no club lounge "
Due to delayed boat,i was not able to use my club lounge ticket as the boat i was on did not have that facility
"Ferry crossing"
Our Calais Dover ferry was delayed by 4 hours due to high winds. P & O gave us a £6 voucher which i spent on a children's portion of fish and chips (once on board) which was very good (the adult portion is very large). We've taken the ferry 3 years running now in February because it's cheaper than the tunnel and I drive a 2.1m high vehicle and those spaces fill out early. The tunnel is also prone to delays at Half term. The ferry also allows you to arrive home fed which is a bonus.
"Boarding"
The boarding staff was a little aggressive although the ship was only half full a packing up very tight to front n side seemed to be necessary ??
"Pride of Britain "
Return journey on Pride of Britain, decided to visit the Brasserie, waited on by very polite staff and had a very nice good valued meal. Stayed at table for whole of crossing in very nice restaurant. Well done P & O Ferries. Staff could not be more helpful please pass on any comments
"Nice ferry trip "
Nice and quick trip
"Everything alright"
...so I would book again... But in general, on all ferries, I wish for porcelain cups instead of disposable ones...
"Disappointed"
We traveled on the Pride of Burgundy, it is a very dated ship, quite small. The general cleanliness was poor and on the green set of stairs there was a strong smell of sewerage. We are in the foodhall, I had the chicken curry which was salty and quite poorly presented. Poppodom, naan, onion bhaji, pickle etc we all extra. I travel with P&O regularly and will try to avoid this ship in future, normally the service and quality is good.
"Ferry Service :Excellent , UK Customs : a SHAMBLES !"
The P&O service on the whole cannot be faulted. The processing was swift and carried out by friendly and efficient staff. The big let-down was UK customs. On a day/weekend, when it was highly likely, that a large number of travelers would be returning to the UK, the customs were not at all prepared. Cars piled up in huge numbers at Calais and despite arriving way ahead of time, many missed their scheduled crossings. The reason : out of 14 processing booths, only 3 (then 4) were manned. Retired personnel were working because UK customs once again failed to get their act together. We have not even a completed Brexit yet, what is it going to be like when the real chaos starts ??? UK government & UK Customs match each other on incompetence !
"Ferry crossing"
The ferry was great. We had to get on a later one as It took over an hour to get through border control. No communication between them and ferry companies. How early should you arrive!
"Great tour"
very enjoyable crossings both ways. took less time than we expected. very well organised by the team. Thanks!
"Disappointed "
After driving through the night from Austria, St. Anton we arrived at the ferry terminal on time but with a large queue ahead of us. After moving quickly through French customs, we chose a queue for English customs and after almost getting to the front it was closed. After joining another queue and filtering through that we moved to the P&O desk where we were told we getting on the 9:20am ferry (after arriving at 7:30am) and that we had missed the 8:20am ferry by 5 minuets. This was disappointing but we accepted without any fuss. The most frustrating thing was driving through to the holding lanes to find our lane was full, and that there was probably at least a boats worth of cars already waiting. I found it very hard to believe that everyone in front of us has missed the pervious ferry by 5 minuets.
"expensive wifi, inflated prices"
Connecting with broadband @ P&O costs 2£: this is ridiculous. And the prices in the so-called tax-free shop are just not a bargain. Next time I'll choose DFDS.
"Ship should be scraped, dirty and old"
Everyting is old, chairs are ripped and doors are open, no staff at all so you can ask something. Also, missed out 16 25 ship (because of customs) and the next one was at 18 40...that s a long wait. Got home safe tough.
"Dover- Calais- Dover"
Great experience traveling by ferry. Super friendly crew, fast border control and good organization.
"over all Good "
The ship was very on time and the parking very organised, just don’t recommend the food as after having the curry my husband and I have both Tommy ache! Apart from that, the staff were lovely and the interior is very looked after and clean, but we will pack our lunch next time.
"Dover - Calais and Return"
Arrived early for both my outward and return journey. Absolutely no problem jumping on an earlier ferry. Staff very friendly and helpful. No extra charge made. Short trouble-free crossing both ways. Didn't sample any food, so can't comment. Only slight annoyance is the overlong safety announcements (over zealous elf and safety is my pet hate).
"Calais to dover "
The outbound trip to Calais was good and very easy . The inbound to dover another matter . 2 hours in slow moving queues to get through passport control only a few windows were open despite it being busy . The toilets on the boat were filthy and over flowing with urine and paper. Duty free was rather expensive too . We had a meal and the chips were hard and inedible .
"Glad to be back!"
We are frequent channel crossers and after many many years of using the tunnel, we decided to give the ferries another try. Using Eurotunnel is primarily easy and efficient compared to my previous memories of crossing above rather than beneath the waves. Yes it takes a little longer but is just as easy and gives one a nice break in what is otherwise a long drive The shopping facilities are great and the food good, even for the veggies in my family.
"Excellent crossing"
We had good crossings each way, despite the sea being quite choppy. It cost less than the alternatives, and we got put on an earlier boat coming back, so it was a good experience overall. If we had a complaint, it is that the 'Burgundy' could do with a make over, it is starting to look tired and the toilet facilities are not the best.
"The way to sail"
Friendly helpful staff would definitely travel with them again.
"Perfect"
Good journey with a welcoming crew! Perfect timing and atmosphere!
"Trip 17/12/2019"
Generally pretty terrible, early morning sailing but still left 30 mins late. Crowded to the point that I could not find a seat. Breakfast was expensive and almost cold, water for tea was warm not boiling. Delays on arrival due to French industrial action. Ship was dirty in canteen and toilets and the whole experience was to be avoided.
"The BEST"
Yuo are THE BEST !!! congratulațiunea congratulațio n.
"Vino trip "
Fast service friendly staff easy boarding
"Good trip"
Used the tunnel quite a few times because it was quicker but also nearly twice the price - and then stop for a bite to eat - so saved money, took a rest stop and had lunch at the same time - sometimes it’s nice to slow things down a little
"Good service"
I arrived early and was pleased to be put on an earlier ferry. The ship was very quiet and I had a pleasant trip.
"Brilliant"
Very easy staff very helpful. Very straight forward
"Like it says on the tin"
Did the job perfectly. Allowed to go early without any charge as they have availability on both ways. Some of communal areas are a bit soulless, but it’s only 90 minutes.
"Good trip"
Very great crew for both trips, specially on returning that we arrived a bit running to catch the last ferry. Great adventure
"New experience on a different route"
We tried this route to Hull as an Experiment, and to compare with the normal trip to Dover. On board there was obviously a Little confusion with finding the Right deck and "keys" to the cabin. Good to see that we were not alone. Next time we´ll know. The corridors are too narrow for passengers with varied Hand baggage, disabilities and small Children. But the club cabin gave a positive Impression, with welcoming Drinks and a (dismal) view of the port. The beds were comfy and apart from myself, we all slept well, despite the choppy Crossing. The evening meal was quite good but spoiled by some staff who showed no interest in beckoning Hands of guests. I was not alone and was able to share smiles with other dissatisfied guests. Even the man behind the serving counter simply threw our gammon onto our plates. Just like School dinners. Breakfast was much better….doing everything yourself. For the Money nowadays it was good value, considering the multiple choices of dishes on offer. It reminded us of Basil´s "Communication Problems" in Fawlty Towers. Some staff were brilliant and others indifferent. But communication Needs to be improved, just as with a Football Team.
"happy as before"
