London is served by international ferry ports on the south and east coasts, including Dover, Folkestone, Ramsgate, Newhaven and Harwich. Since the 1980s, the city itself has become a summer cruise destination, and there are plans to expand facilities at Greenwich Pier to create a cruise ship terminal. The Port of London Authority (tel: (020) 7743 7900) can provide further information.

Ferry services:
These include Calais-Dover (P&O Stena Line and SeaFrance); Hook of Holland-Harwich (Stena Line); Hamburg and Esjberg-Harwich (DFDS Scandinavian Seaways). The Hoverspeed hovercraft services between Britain and the continent ceased running in September 2000.

Transport to the city:
Rail transport from Dover, Folkestone, Ramsgate and Newhaven is provided by Connex South Eastern to Victoria station. Great Eastern Railways and Anglia Railways run services from Harwich to Liverpool Street station.
