Dunkirk (Dunkerque) is an English Channel cruise and ferry port and city in northern France, with population around 90,000. The port is located approx 10 km (6 mi) from the France-Belgium border.

Dunkerque has France's 3rd largest harbour (after Le Havre-Paris and Marseille-Fos). City's economy is based on industries like steel, food processing, shipbuilding, oil-refining, chemicals. Main tourist attractions ar ethe museums Musee Portuaire (themed on the seaport) and Musee des Beaux-Arts (paintings and sculptures).

As ferry port, Dunkirk is served by the Danish company DFDS SEAWAYS with regularly scheduled daily crossings to Dover England. Currently, the Dunkirk-Dover route is served by the ships Delft Seaways, Dover Seaways and Dunkerque Seaways. City's public transportation was free only during weekends, but since September 2018 is provided free of charge every weekday.

Ferry travel is convenient as it is regular, fast and without any baggage restrictions.
