Do you stay on the coach on a ferry?
Once on board the ferry you will disembark the coach and take the stairs to the passenger areas. You will not be allowed back down onto the vehicle deck during the crossing so make sure you have everything you need for the crossing with you. There is a large duty free shop and a self service restaurant on board.

Which is cheaper ferry or Eurotunnel?
Generally speaking the ferry is usually slightly cheaper, but whichever option you choose, make sure to shop around for deals and book well ahead of time to get the best-value fares.
