Catch a train from Cambridge to London. These leave several times an hour from the main Cambridge station, and you can book travel in person or online.
Catch another train out of London toward Dover from Charing Cross Station.

Pack only as much as you can easily carry, or it could cost you your connection as you struggle to make your way from platform to platform, or even station to station.
Use luggage with wheels. Alternatively, invest in a lightweight, fold-up, rolling luggage cart.
Keep your passport, cash and credit cards close to you, on your person if possible. The rest of your luggage can go under your seat and in nearby storage compartments on both the train and ferry components of your trip.
