Ferry booked for four people on 30 th May for cycle trip to Belgum. Got word today that ferry is cancelled. Hotels all paid and booked. Major disaster. Why can this happen.
Hi K Reid
I’m sorry to hear that the ferry operator has cancelled your crossing. This could have been caused by a number of factors including: weather conditions, port closures, industrial disputes or changed by other operational requirements.
My husband and I would like to take our cycles to Holland do you get charges for this.
Hi James
If you are travelling with P&O Ferries and wish to take your bicycle with you then please be aware of the following:
If you are travelling with an already attached bicycle rack then there is no extra charge to your booking, however, if the rack is fitted to the roof of your vehicle and makes the vehicle more than 1.8 metres in height (with or without bicycles attached) then your vehicle will need to be booked as an over-height vehicle and this will the affect the price of your booking.
If the bicycle rack is on the back of the vehicle this is also acceptable and should not affect the height of the vehicle.
We can accomodate bikes, bicycles, motorcycles and motorcycles with sidecars on all our routes, with the exception of Liverpool to Dublin where foot passengers with bicycles are unable to travel.
I hope this helps.
We want to be foot passengers from Hull to Rotterdam, are there public transports i.e., shuttle bus, metro, taxi …etc from Hook of Holland to Rotterdam city centre? And if there are, how about the cost?
Hi Peter
So Rotterdam city centre is 24 miles from the ferry port. A coach service is available to take your from the ferry port to Rotterdam Central Railway Station to the “Eurolines” bus stop at Conradstraat. (You also can get the return coach journey back to the ferry from here). Bus tickets must be pre-booked at the Reservations department. I hope this helps.
Do you need the reg of the car as I am thinking of changing it before the trip
Hi Ken
If you enter “TBC” (To Be Confirmed) in the Registration Number box on their booking web pages, provided that you amend the details in sufficient time for their boarding records to be up to date when you arrive at the port. There is no extra charge for this as long as the vehicle class and dimensions remain the same. I hope this helps.

The ferry time from Hull to Rotterdam is not listed, how long does it take to go from Hull to Rotterdam?
Hi Ray
The ferry from Hull to Rotterdam takes 11 hours, with 1 sailing per day (20:30 – 07:30). I hope this helps.
I am looking to book somewhat in advance – for July next year – will the prices come down – it is really high at the moment.
Of course prices can change, however July is the premium summer season and prices could even go up as the cheaper priced cabins become sold out.
You could try sailing on a different day, mid week sailings will usually be less expensive than the weekends. Sailings from September to May will also usually be cheaper with October to March being the cheapest.
I would like to travel Hull Rotterdam but we have tow dogs with us and a caravan, is this possible?
Hi Doreen
Yes this is possible. Just select “caravan” as you mode of transport. As you move through the booking process there is a section to add dogs in as passenger. Just select two, then decide whether you want them to remain in your caravan or in your onboard kennels. I hope this helps.
my husband and i want to go to Rotterdam April and take our car but on return we want to bring our daughter back with us how much extra would we be looking at paying
The approximate cost for an extra traveler in the same vehicle is £10.50
We travel with two dogs. Can they share our cabin overnight?
No. Dogs must remain in your vehicle or in the on-board kennels.
Is there access to the vehicle to check on the dog?
Is there access to the kennels to check on the dog?
Hi Barry
Unfortunately you are not able to check on your dog in your vehicle during the crossing. This can only be done at the digression of the operator and would require you to be accompanied by a member of staff. You are not allowed to remain with your dog i your vehicle either. I am sorry for the inconvenience.
I am having to collect some folk from the Hull terminal, do I need to pay parking or display a parking ticket for the short time I’m there and if so where do I get the ticket from.
P&O Ferries car parks in Hull will incur a charge of £5 per 24 hours or part thereof. For short term visitors the first 2 hours will be FREE, but a parking ticket from the machine will need to be displayed.
Foot passengers travelling to Holland may park their vehicle at either the Rotterdam or Zeebrugge car park in Hull. There’s a multi-storey car park near the Europort terminal and 3 open air car parks in front of the Zeebrugge terminal building.
I am considering going from Hull to Rotterdam returning 1 week later but leaving a car at Hull – what is the cost of parking for 1 week?
Thanks
I believe it is charged on a daily basis of £7 per day
