Operated by P&O Ferries on the Dover Calais route
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. If requested in advance staff are available to meet and assist passengers with special requirements on the vehicle deck.
Please Note: Whilst we have taken great care in making our Pride of Burgundy guide as accurate as possible, onboard facilities, services and entertainment may vary depending on the date and time of year that you travel, facilities mentioned may change without notification and ferry companies reserve the right to operate vessels other than those mentioned at time of booking without prior notification.

"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.

"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.

"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.

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.

"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 !

"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.

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.

"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.

"A disappointing trip"
The outbound trip was ok, other than the Brasserie restaurant having a new menu with no instructions for the chef, and so a dish that was meant to have leeks and lentils came with Mediterranean vegetables. This may seem like a small gripe, but there was no explanation from the waiting staff and no warning that this was not going to be as published. On the way back, there were delays about which we knew nothing in spite of checking twitter, and had to wait for 90 minutes at the ferry terminal. Not a good place to be. Then, the menu gremlin struck again. A pudding choice came with apples and lumpy custard rather than the advertised fruit coulis and cream (I'm allergic to apples and wouldn't have eaten the custard anyway). I sent it back and got no apology, no further service from the grumpy staff, and had to pay full price for the main course, having had the fixed price menu option removed from the bill. Most unhappy.

It was my first time taking a ferry and it was super easy. Driving up through customs was simple but I noticed the staff there were very friendly. The woman checking our passports at the French customs area didn’t even say one word to us. But the clerk running the check in booth was very welcoming. The trip itself was good. The waters were quite rough on the outgoing trip but there’s nothing you can do about that. I feel the captain did a good job sailing in the poor weather conditions. There was plenty of seating available for the passengers and a few food options. I will say the food court meals did not look appetising but I was able to find decent food elsewhere aboard the ship. Also, we made great timing on the outgoing ship but for some reason we were about thirty minutes late on departure coming back. It was no big deal to my family but had we had other plans that could have affected them. All in all, it was a good experience.

Hardly any passengers! Good crossing, nice breakfast, no complaints. Duty free shop was very limited compared to ferry we took from Norway to Denmark, but then so called "duty free" is no cheaper than supermarkets in France! If you're looking for wine and spirits, Aldi is much cheaper. For perfumes etc., I don't believe the "retail prices" they show are real, and the discounts offered are still outrageously expensive.

We were so angry as we didn't eat until we left the ferry at Dover. The food on these ferries isn't cheap and P and O need to have a bit of respect for the passengers.I wouldn't recommend eating on these ferries to anyone. One last thought.

"Extremely poor service when things go wrong"
The ships themselves were fine - it was the customer service from both direct Ferries and P&O that was disgraceful on our return journey. The car and caravan we travelled out to France in were destroyed in a crash on a French Motorway and we needed a lot of support getting home. Phoning Direct ferries took an hour in a queue of 16, far from ideal on a mobile abroad, and despite P&O (who answered quickly) telling us it was only Directferries who could assist us as we bought through them, after finally getting through they had to go to P&O - both companies really were unhelpful. I would both carefully review their policies for supporting customers who have been through a traumatic experience such as a crash and offer training in tact, diplomacy and common sense. I wouldn't recommend either company in light of our experiences.

"Complete endurance test! "
If I had known what getting from Dover to Calais and back again was to entail, I honestly wouldn’t have put myself through it. Got to Dover early only to sit in 2 hours of traffic to get to the port. Pure gridlock! Calais wasn’t so bad. Got of vessel and away in reasonable time. The return was a disaster. Once again about an hour to get through the port in Calais - nothing compared to what happened back in Dover. We were delayed by about 30 minutes getting off the ship because of a failure in the security system! Then after getting off the ship we had to sit in 2 hours of traffic to travel the short distance through security. A car with 4 children and a dog. It was a nightmare! The only plus was the fact that we drove pretty much straight into the ferry when we finally got through security. There HAS to be a more efficient system. The ship was fine like most ferries. The star ratings are for the ship and the staff. That was all ok as you would expect but the bigger picture was an endurance test!

"Don’t waste your time"
I had booked the ferry to and from France for a bike trip. On the outward route, Dover was chaos - the ferry was due to leave at 0925, and the email had said the last check in was 45 mins before departure, so, I arrived at 8am thinking this would be ample time. How wrong I was. Dover itself was traffic chaos, with congestion everywhere. Thankfully I was able to filter through most of it, so still got to the Harbour early. It took hours to get to check in, passport control didn’t seem to be checking passports etc, the delay was simply at P&O check in, which had a lengthy queue of cars that didn’t seem to be moving at all. Eventually, when I got to check in, I was told I’d been moved to an 11am ferry. I waited hours in the queue with the staff not even bothering to explain what the delay was. In keeping with the spirit of delays, the 11am ferry was late... I eventually got on board, and as soon as I did, I was greeted with a massive queue to get near any of the restaurant area. The endless delays put me behind schedule for the rest of the day, and ruined day one of the trip. The entire experience was so poor, I booked the Eurotunnel for the return route, which was much much faster. I’ll be using the tunnel in future, I’ll never be back to the ferry route. My advice to anyone would be to get the tunnel, don’t waste hours of time trying to get a ferry.

I do this crossing often and frequently there are groups of schoolchildren on the ship Usually they are controlled fairly well. This time it was not the case.

Complaints were obviously made and announcements were made asking children not to run (I was nearly mown down by three large teenage girls careering round a corner) and to keep the volume down. And there was an apology to passengers at the end of the trip. But this was not a pleasant journey home.

The ferry we had from Dover to Calais was very old and quite grubby. It did the job of getting us from a to b but it wasn’t a very pleasant experience. The area designated for families and children was very tired and the kids area was dirty, most of the toys broken and the seating area to watch the film was basically children’s plastic garden chairs. The ferry from Calais to Dover was newer so cleaner and better equipt but still a poor children’s area and this time no seating to watch the cartoons on the telly. The toys were broken and grubby even on the newer ship. The queue for the canteen on the way home took 45 minutes and when we got there they had hardly any food left, 3 people serving and one person making hot drinks just wasn’t enough. I booked the ferry over the tunnel because I thought it would be a fun experience for the children (2 & 5) but next time I’ll just book the tunnel. Same price and quicker, not that the ferry can compete with timings but the ships were either grim or poorly staffed, sorry P&O but you need to up your game considerably.

"Something isn't right "
Hi, I was extremely upset with a service in one particular moment we had. So me and my love are on a road to our first trip. It was last Friday morning and we're late for Dover! Harsh start of a lovely adventure, we even thought to turn uround and go home seeing no point in carrying on. But we didn't! Hero of a day for us was a girl at a ticket post. True professional, plain and undemanding, considering the circumstances to benefit both sides. We were explained that it's nothing to worry about and she will put us on a next outgoing ferry, becouse there's plenty of space. That was a bright side of a moon. On a way back we had to cut our holidays short becouse of a family matter. That was extremely important to us and ones around. So the plan was to get home as quick as possible. Our original departure time was 23.15pm or so, we were at Calais around 7pm. Passed security and border posts and then on a ticket check we were told to turn around and come back at 9pm. and there is nothing else possible to do and whatsoever. We'll be board free of charge that's what we've been told, Or! He continues saying that there's one departing in an hour but unfortunately we need to pay for this one. Desperate origin of a hole situation forced us to ask no questions and just pay and leave. But I have this bitter in me and willing to ask some questions. Where are these boundaries of a fear game? Extra payed boat we took was Empty! Was there a good need to treat your costumer like that? I'm like in a bipolar impression of hole situation.

"Travel OK, but don't expect any extras"
The port in Calais has only very basic facilities. Did you arrive late in the evening and need to wait for an hour or two? Would you like to sit down in a place that is heated and eventually buy a hot drink? Well, then forget, because toilets are all you're going to have access to. I always see quite a few families with little children on the boat and among them, mothers walking around with milk bottles etc. and desperately searching for a microwave to warm up food for their little ones. We are such a family as well. I went around the whole deck and the best you can hope for is a bowl with hot water. On the other hand, alcohol and perfumes in the duty free shop are abundant. The quality of travel in general is acceptable, but there's a lot of room for improvement. And I'm not expecting a luxury experience here. Both DFDS and P&O rely on the fact that there's no real competition to their business and customer does not really have a choice (unless you use the Channel tunnel).

"A little bit more effort needed"
For me the point of crossing the Channel by ferry is having the time to set yourself up for a long drive once you get to (in this case) Calais. Part of that is having a decent meal. Taking an early morning crossing, I took advantage of the 'Bistro' which is promoted as a quality option, to have a decent Breakfast. Before I had even sat down I was asked whether I wanted a coffee, which I did. I didn't realise that there was a choice since it wasn't offered; espresso, americano etc. The choice of breakfast options was okay and I ordered. A full English breakfast with a coffee was £13.50. For this I expected a really decent meal in terms quality. The sausage, bacon and toast were bland, the whole tomato was under cooked tasteless and watery, the hash brown tasted oily only the mushrooms were okay. The baked beans were presented in a ramekin - why? It also came with a piece of black pudding - something that many folk don't like. If this meal was representative of the fayre offered by the 'Bistro' - it's not worth the added expense. The main lounge at the bow offers much seating, however the chairs and bench seats only allow for a kind of formal seating position, making a doze almost impossible. And one last thing which I found curious, the bar had a deal where you could double a spirit measure for an extra pound. This seemed to me to be slightly irresponsible given the quantity of drivers this mode of transport carries. I accept that people can exercise choice - but many can't. P&O need to try harder to add value to the experience of getting across the Channel, something I think they think they have done.

Pride of Kent is one of my preferred p and o ships. Friendly service from staff. Relaxed but efficient travel and on time. No fuss from anyone. Toilets a bit grubby in some cubicles.

Very efficient service and comfortable crossings. Food and drinks were not great and expensive but we didn't buy very much as was short crossing.

"Calais nightmare!"
Dover to Calais trip on 24th August was fabulous, everything went to plan. Our return trip however was very different. Our scheduled crossing time from Calais was 20.35, we arrived, or should I say, arrived a few miles out of port, to encounter the longest queues & the most vehicles I have ever seen in one place at a complete standstill. We finally got to check in after 3 hours to be told we’d be sailing at 23.35, another 2 hour wait! We had been traveling a total of 14 hours at this point. At no time was there any explanation or apology for delay. We have decided never to travel this way again!

"Ridiculous Situation "
We got the text while on route to say terminal was busy so leave extra time. 2h 40min waiting in the queue to get to French passport control then another hour to get past UK border control. Missed the ferry we had booked and the next one by the time we got on. Actual ferry was as expected but it’s not a last day of holiday we are ever going to repeat. Cornwall next year....

"Large Man"
We had a lovely crossing staff on board where nice my only complaint would be the rather intimidating man standing in front of the van yelling at us because we didn’t move quick enough .. this is because his directions he gave weren’t clear .. at the age of 48 I do not expect to be spoken to like that .. my own husband wouldn’t so I don’t expect an employee of P&O too !!

"Plain sailing, sort of."
I booked this sailing with my phone, while on holiday, so I had no way to print it out. And my phone only keeps a limited number of emails on show.. so to cut a long story short we went to the wrong kiosk after passport control. (an idea that others use - an email a few hours before the sailing with all the details you need on it - a brilliant idea that I urge Direct Ferries to adopt) But anyway, back to the dockside, so I was parked in the middle of everywhere having had no help from a very unpleasant DFDS kiosk woman .. my wife walked back to the P&O kiosks and was seen straight away, no problems at all. Thank you. My bad, their good. Loading was, as usual, swift and easy, we found seats (as we were quick about it) and although this ship isn't as modern and comfy as some, its only a channel crossing and you don't need much. Too many people were catching sleep across several seats for my own liking, but being an early sunday morning boat, not surprising perhaps. And we had our seats so whats my beef? We only had coffee, perfectly okay, no worries at all. While waiting in vehicles for the unload it seemed to take an extra 5 mins or so to get the ramp lined up but this is surely the most intense route in the world? Give them a break. And you can lose or gain 5mins on a 30min drive.. ours was 7 hours. So apart from my 'bad' and the P&O kiosk guy's 'good', it was plain sailing. Literally. So what?

"no hassles"
Given the sheer amount of cars and people travelling we were amazed that the process delivered us to our booked ferry on time. The return journey was very tight, but that was not P&O's fault - it was the fault of the French tolls !!

"Disappointed "
I booked in 10th June our tickets for 22nd of July ( and back in August). With 2 days before to pass the Channel I received an email that my ferrie it was cancel. I called few times - nothing . I started my journey down to Dover without to know when I will be able to cross. When I get there I found that I must to pay another £60 to cross or to wait for 6 hours more because you changed the time without to let me know 👿 . Just after I paid another £60 I received the email from you. Shame. I paid in total £ 220 .

"Horrendous delays at ferry terminal in Calais"
I have usually had good experiences with P&O ferries in the past. However, this time it was a nightmare. We waited for over an hour in holding area then queue for passport control which made us miss our booked ferry, despite getting there well before the time of departure. We had to get the next ferry one hour later which upset our plans of missing rush hour on M2 and M25. Booked ferry was 13:25. Ended up getting 14:20 ferry. Didn't get home to York until 22:00 that evening. I suspect people who had booked later ferries were clogging up the queues and getting the places of those who were actually booked on the correct ferry. Surely there must be a better system. I will go by eurotunnel in future.
