I have been researching the best option for traveling to Dover on the day of our cruise. Our hotel is the Clermont Victoria and we can travel on a bus from Victoria coach or Victoria station on a southeastern train. The train is direct and takes 2 hrs. The bus takes 3 hrs and 10 min. The train costs 15 pounds and the bus is 8 pounds. I have some concerns for each though. Will the train be affected by the train strikes? The bus drops us off in Dover central. Will we be able to find a taxi on a busy cruise day? Should we just pay more and take the cruise bus option that would pick us up near Victoria station? ( approx. 105 dollars) Should we book a tour to Dover and pay for a tour of the white cliffs and Dover castle?? (125 ish) without entrance fee to the castle.

Thank you all for your help. I definitely feel more confident we can do this and save some money on taxi fares by taking the tube!

We will be arriving August 29th on Air Canada around 9:30 am. Trying to figure out the best way to get to our hotel. We are staying at the Clermont hotel. I think Victoria station is close by but don’t really understand the whole train vrs tube options. We did order the oyster card already. We will have I medium suitcase each and have no difficulty walking.
