I'm not aware of any of the cross-channel ferries offering their own
on-ship base stations, at least on the eastern crossings, e.g. Dover-
Calais/Dunkirk. My experience has been that you retain mobile
reception from one side or another for the whole cross-channel ferry
crossing.

In which case I have made a mistake and it must have been
Portsmouth/Caen.

A v quick google appears to confirm that Brittany Ferries have such an
arrangement. Haven't been on one of their ferries for some time!
