Ferry or flight from Rotterdam to Hull?

Weighing a flight against the ferry from Rotterdam to Hull? Add the airport time at both ends and the transfer from the arrival airport, and the ferry is often as fast door to door - about 11 hours 30 minutes at sea and generally cheaper, with no baggage fees. With a car there is no contest. We book whichever suits you.

Return ferry from Hull to Rotterdam

We book the return crossing from Hull to Rotterdam just as easily, typically on the same confirmation. Round-trip fares and open returns are cheaper on many operators, so booking both directions together saves money. Let us know the day you want to come back on the form and we send both directions with the cost.

How much does the ferry from Rotterdam to Hull cost?

"How much is the ferry ticket from Rotterdam to Hull?" has several answers, because the operators price the slow boat and the fast boat differently, charge separately for vehicles and cabins, and raise fares in high season. Haqqi Tours can provide the current cost for your date and party - foot passengers, car, seats or cabin - within minutes of receiving the form, and tells you which sailing is the best value.

Let us know for two or three sailings and we send the cost of each - fast boat and slow boat, morning and afternoon - so you can see the difference before you book the Rotterdam to Hull ferry.

Cheapest ferry ticket from Rotterdam to Hull: how to pay less

Getting the lowest fare on the ferry from Rotterdam to Hull is a matter of vessel, timing and flexibility. Here is how Haqqi Tours finds you a cheap ferry ticket:

• Price the crossing with and without the car - for two people a rental at the other end is sometimes cheaper
• Book the return with the outbound - open returns and round-trip fares are cheaper on many operators
• Ask about children's, student and resident fares, and about vehicle offers outside high season
• Choose the conventional ferry over the high-speed boat when time allows - it is cheaper, steadier and often more scenic
• Book early for July, August, Easter and holiday weekends, when sailings sell out and fares rise
• Travel on a weekday - Friday and Sunday sailings carry the highest fares

Send us the form with your dates and we tell you which sailing is the cheapest ferry from Rotterdam to Hull that day and how much a different day would save.

Timetable and season of the Rotterdam to Hull ferry

The Rotterdam to Hull ferry timetable is seasonal: high summer brings the fullest schedule and the earliest sell-outs; spring and autumn have fewer boats and better fares; winter runs a reduced service on many crossings. The crossing itself takes about 11 hours 30 minutes. Tell us the day and we send the sailings, and we flag the ones most exposed to a cancellation in bad weather.

Sea conditions matter on this route: strong winds can delay or cancel high-speed boats while the conventional ferries keep sailing. When the forecast is poor we tell you and, if you prefer, book the steadier vessel.

Departure: Rotterdam Europoort terminal

The ferry from Rotterdam to Hull leaves from Rotterdam Europoort terminal, in Rotterdam - Rotterdam is the modern port city of the Netherlands, with the Markthal, the cube houses and Europe's largest harbour. Foot passengers should be at the port 45 to 60 minutes before departure; vehicles usually 60 to 90 minutes, earlier on international crossings where passports are checked. Getting there: Bus 33 and the metro connect Rotterdam The Hague Airport with the centre in about 25 minutes, and trains from the central station reach Amsterdam, Schiphol, The Hague and Antwerp; but for Kinderdijk, Keukenhof, the Hook of Holland ferry and the cruise terminal with luggage, a private car is far more convenient.

• Luggage is carried free within the ferry company's limits; large bags go on the racks or the car deck
• Cafés, kiosks and waiting halls at Rotterdam Europoort terminal; some fast boats board only minutes before sailing
• Haqqi Tours provides a private transfer from your hotel in Rotterdam to the port on request
• Let us know which gate or terminal your sailing uses - big ports have several

Arrival: Hull King George Dock

You step off at Hull King George Dock. Taxis and buses meet the boats. If you would rather not think about it, we book a driver to meet the ferry and take you to the door of your hotel.

Onward journeys from Hull - another ferry, a flight or a train the same day - can be added to the booking; let us know and we time the crossing to fit.
