Ferry from Rosyth to Zeebrugge in Belgium

The passenger ferry route between Rosyth in Scotland and Zeebrugge in Belgium closed in December 2010 when it was operated by Norfolkline. Though they had just been bought over by rival Ferry Operator DFDS Seaways and it was them that took the decision to close the service.

The closure of the Rosyth to Zeebrugge ferry means that there is no passenger ferry service between Scotland and mainland Europe.

However, you can still reach Belgium by ferry using either our Dover to Calais or Hull to Rotterdam routes and continue to enjoy safe and relaxing ferry travel to mainland Europe.

The Hull to Rotterdam route features overnight crossings similar to our Hull to Zeebrugge service. Your ticket will include a comfortable cabin and the ships boast a range of dining and entertainment options, including two cinema screens and a casino. You’ll then disembark in Rotterdam which offers excellent road links to Belgium. Alternatively, our Dover to Calais route takes just 90 minutes, and you can spend this time eating, drinking, and browsing our World Duty Free shop before arriving in France.

From Calais, you have easy access to Belgium by car – and the beautiful city of Bruges is less than an hour and a half from the port. In addition to being able to explore the medieval delights that Bruges has to offer, you’ll also be able to visit plenty of other popular Belgian destinations, including Antwerp, Brussels, and Ghent.
