Hull to Zeebrugge

Crossing Time: 14 hours (overnight)


The Hull to Zeebrugge service is one of P&O Ferries oldest routes, with a crossing time of 14 hours you sail throughout the night meaning you arrive refreshed ready for your onward journey. The route gives you an overnight stop and ferry crossing all in one. Two comfortable ferries sail from each port early evening (circa 6:30pm) and crossing the North Sea with plenty of time to spare meaning that unless the weather is really bad they always arrive just after breakfast the next morning.

The ships have everything you need for a relaxed an enjoyable night onboard, with two restaurants allowing you the choice of an "all you can eat" buffet or relaxing in the waiter service Brasserie restaurant. Throughout the evening there is live entertainment in two venues onboard, the show lounge or the quieter lounge on blue deck. Also onboard is a coffee shop along with a large shop and a childrens play area.

P&O Ferries operate three minicruises on the route:

  • Bruges: Sail overnight as a foot passenger with all coach connections to Bruges included in your fare. The coaches depart from outside the terminal building and drop you off in Bruges, it is either a 15 minute walk to the centre of Bruges through a large park or you can catch a local bus which drops off in the heart of Bruges. Various tour options are available, details and booking options available onboard. The coaches depart late afternoon from Bruges arriving back in good time to check-in and relax the night away.
  • Ostend: Sail overnight as a foot passenger with all coach connections to Ostend included in your fare. The coaches depart late afternoon from Ostend arriving back in good time to check-in and relax the night away. This mini-cruise does not operate all year round, so best to check the dates and plan well ahead.
  • Ypres: Sail overnight as a foot passenger with all coach connections to Ypres included in your fare. The coaches depart late afternoon from Ypres arriving back in good time to check-in and relax the night away. This mini-cruise does not operate all year round, so best to check the dates and plan well ahead.
Passengers travelling by foot can also book tickets on these coaches for onward journeys. There is nothing at the ferry terminal itself so unless you have someone collecting you from the port the transfer coach is the only option for onward journeys.
