It is less busy and more laid-back/friendly than the [[Calais]]-Dover route. Both the Calais-Dover boats and the Dunkerque-Dover boats do not charge for extra passengers in vehicles. While [[Calais]]-Dover ferries allow foot passengers (cost about £15/20Euros), it is not possible from Dunkerque, so you have no other choice than to get a lift.
Since mid October [2018] busses around Dunkerque are free, so from Dunkerque city centre, it is possible to take a free bus in the direction of Loon-Plage. Close to the ferry is a hotel parking lot at the roundabout, which is a good place to be dropped off. The best way to catch a ride from there is walking a little bit in the direction of the ferry. Be warned the signs 'car ferry' on the roundabout point in the 'wrong' direction here, not many cars take this exit because it is a detour towards the ferry. It is faster to take the first exit (when coming from Dunkerque direction). To catch all cars & vans who will cross the Channel walk 10 min to the next roundabout.
Crossing takes about 1h50 and on the ''Norfolkline'' ships there provide free wireless internet access.
