About Dieppe Port
Dieppe Port is a cross-Channel ferry port on the Normandy coast of France, on the English Channel (La Manche), roughly halfway between London and Paris. Its terminal serves passenger crossings to Newhaven on the south coast of England, with 1 to 2 sailings a day on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Sailings go direct to Newhaven with no stops on the way.
Drivers can bring a car, motorbike, camper van or bicycle on board. Foot passengers can also book, and a shuttle bus links the terminal with Dieppe rail station. Cabins are optional, which suits travellers on the overnight crossings who want to sleep on board.

Getting to Dieppe Port
By car, you reach Dieppe from Rouen via the A151 and then the N27. Set your sat nav for the ferry terminal at 7 Quai Gaston Lalitte, 76200 Dieppe.
Parking is available in front of the terminal, free of charge, for short-term stays.
Without a car, take the train to Dieppe rail station, which has services from Rouen and Paris. A ferry shuttle bus runs between the station and the terminal on a monthly timetable; tickets are sold on board or through an app. Be at the stop five minutes before the scheduled time, and check the timetable first, as some days have no service.
Foot passengers should arrive about an hour before departure, and travellers with a vehicle or bicycle about two hours before, to allow for check-in, travel checks and boarding. Always check your booking confirmation for the check-in time of your sailing.
Cars, motorbikes, camper vans and bicycles can travel with you: choose the vehicle type when you book a Dieppe to Newhaven crossing.
Arriving at Dieppe Port
Drivers leave the terminal and head straight into Dieppe, then inland to Rouen via the N27 and A151.
Foot passengers can use the ferry shuttle bus to Dieppe rail station, where trains run to Rouen and Paris and regional Nomad coaches leave from the bus station next door. The shuttle timetable changes by date and some days have no service, so check it before you travel.
Local taxi firms serve the ferry terminal, and booking a pick-up before you arrive saves you from waiting.
