Concerts & Tours by Ferry
Planning a trip to see your favourite artist in the UK or Europe? Your concert ticket could be the start of a much bigger adventure.
Travelling by ferry gives you the freedom to take your own vehicle, travel with friends and explore more along the way.
Our concert and tour travel guides help you discover ferry routes that could get you closer to some of the biggest live music events.
Travel to a Concert by Ferry
Seeing your favourite artist in another city or country can turn a concert into a memorable trip. Flying might seem like the obvious option. However, depending on the destination, travelling by ferry can give you much more freedom.
Take your own car and continue your journey after arriving at the port. You can choose where you stay, explore somewhere new and even add extra destinations along the way. For groups travelling together, the journey can become part of the experience.

Why Travel to a Concert by Ferry?
🚗 Take Your Own Car
Taking your car gives you more control over your concert trip. Once the ferry arrives, you can continue towards your hotel or concert destination without arranging onward flights or car hire. It also gives you the freedom to stay outside busy city centres.
👥 Travel With Friends
Heading to the concert as a group? Travelling together can turn getting there into part of the weekend. Share the driving, build the road-trip playlist and enjoy the journey together.
🧳 Pack More for Your Trip
Taking your vehicle gives you more flexibility when packing. This can be particularly useful if you are combining the concert with a longer holiday or visiting several destinations. Always check your ferry operator’s luggage and vehicle rules before travelling.
🗺️ Turn the Concert Into a Road Trip
Your concert might only last one evening, but your trip does not have to. Add another city, stay a few extra nights or explore somewhere along the route. Travelling by ferry with your own vehicle makes it easier to build a longer trip around the concert.
Choosing the Best Ferry Route
The best crossing will depend on where the concert takes place and where your journey begins. Start by looking at ferry ports close to your destination. However, the nearest port will not always provide the best overall journey.
Consider the length of the crossing, departure times and how far you will need to drive after arriving. For some destinations, a slightly longer ferry crossing could mean considerably less driving afterwards. Our individual concert travel guides compare the most practical options for each destination.
Planning Your Concert Trip
Popular concerts can mean busy hotels, roads and public transport. Therefore, it is worth planning the complete journey before booking your ferry. Check where you are staying, how you will reach the venue and where you can park if you are driving.
You should also allow plenty of time between arriving at your destination and the start of the concert. If you are travelling with a vehicle for the first time, our Travelling by Ferry with a Vehicle guide explains what happens at the port and how the boarding process works.
Turn Your Next Concert Into an Adventure
Travelling to see your favourite artist does not have to mean flying into a city and flying straight home again. Take the ferry, bring your own vehicle and make more of the journey.
