Alternative Ferry Routes

Take the ferry to Holland instead of Belgium

Travellers looking to get to the continent by ferry can also consider Holland as a destination. There are several ferry services from the UK to Holland: Newcastle to Amsterdam with DFDS, Hull to Rotterdam with P&O Ferries and Harwich to Hook of Holland with Stena Line.

The destination ports in Holland are not too far from those in Belgium and may provide a perfect alternative. This is especially true for travellers from Scotland who only need to drive as fas as Newcastle for the Newcastle to Amsterdam DFDS ferry service.
