Closed Routes

Over recent years, several popular ferry routes have sadly ceased operations, leaving travellers in search of reliable alternatives.
At Ferryto.eu, we’ve created this dedicated page to help you navigate the changes and find the best alternative ferry routes available today.
This section lists all the closed ferry routes across the UK and Europe, including well-known services like Hull to Amsterdam and Harwich to Esbjerg. However, just because these routes are no longer active doesn’t mean your journey has to become complicated. In fact, there are often convenient and affordable alternatives just a short distance away.
For each route listed below, we’ve created a dedicated page that explains:
- Why the original ferry service stopped operating
- Recommended alternative ferry crossings
- Key travel tips and updated sailing information
Whether you’re planning a family holiday, a road trip through Europe, or a business journey, it’s essential to stay informed. Each individual page gives you a clear overview of your options, including which operators to book with, where to depart from, and what travel times to expect.
We continually update this section to ensure you always have access to the most current ferry travel information. So if your regular crossing is no longer available, don’t worry — there’s almost always another way to get there.
