Dover to Calais is about a 75 minute crossing and both P&O and Sea France are good places to start looking for deals.

Dover to Boulogne is another route which is not only a shorter crossing at 50 minutes but Speed Ferries, the company that operate this route have some very good cheap fares, so worth a look.
