Route information

The ferry from Hull to Rotterdam is an overnight crossing that strikes a nice balance between sailing time and a good night’s sleep. Unlike some overnight routes where passengers are woken up quite early, you’ll generally get a decent amount of rest on board. The Pride of Hull and Pride of Rotterdam have a slightly old-school feel, with darker interiors that many travellers find cosy rather than dated. There is entertainment on board, several casual dining options, an à la carte restaurant, and even a cinema.

As an alternative to the former Hull–Zeebrugge route, this crossing may suit you perfectly. If not, you’ll find plenty of alternative routes elsewhere on our site.

After the ferry: reaching Belgium

We’re actually assuming that Zeebrugge isn’t your final destination, but that you were simply under the impression that the Hull–Zeebrugge ferry still existed. Since Hull–Rotterdam is now the alternative, you can assume that Belgium is only a little over an hour away by car once you arrive in Rotterdam.

By car

This ferry is best suited to travellers with their own vehicle, as public transport connections from Rotterdam Europoort are fairly limited. By car, however, Belgium is easy to reach. The Belgian border is not far away.

One thing to keep in mind after arriving in the Netherlands is the Kiltunnel near Dordrecht. Many navigation systems will route you through it on the way to Belgium. Unlike most Dutch roads and motorways, this tunnel is subject to a toll. There are no toll booths, and payment must be made online after your journey. The fee itself is modest, but if you forget to pay, additional charges and fines can quickly exceed the original toll amount. If you’d rather avoid the hassle, you can either pay online shortly after using the tunnel or choose a route that bypasses it altogether.
