I'm afraid that got me thinking (I've had a somewhat quiet day).....
So I'm starting a list:-
1) Ferry 'cross the Mersey - although ruined by have the song playing all through the journey.
2) The now defunct ferry from the Kyle of Lochalsh to Kyleakin (Isle of Skye).
3) From Holyhead to the Isle of Man.
4) Auckland CBD to Devonport

Struggling now, so I will hand over to others to see if you can help.

I can think of lots other than those already mentioned, theres plenty that go over the Irish sea and heaps more over the North sea to Scandinavia and Holland, not so sure manyof them would make a top 12

Portsmouth to Isle of Wight
Dover to Calais
Swansea to Cork
Folkestone to Boulogne
Holyhead to Dublin
Stranraer to Belfast
New Haven to Dieppe
Newcastle to Amsterdam
Portsmouth to Bilbao
AKL to Waiheke
Gulf Harbour to Auckland
Birkenhead to Auckland
