Minicruises from Hull

Going to the coastal town of Zeebrugge (Bruges is nearby - 8 kilometres) or Rotterdam (Amsterdam is a short bus ride away) on a mini cruise is a popular trip on this route.

Out of season, 2 for 1 tickets are on sale for both foot passengers and motorists. The foot passenger fare includes return city centre transfers. A cabin is included in the price and involves two nights onboard and a day in Zeebrugge or Amsterdam. A cinema is also onboard as well as a casino and bars.

With a choice of restaurants (Langan's Brasserie and the Four Seasons Carvery) as well as a quiet room should you just want to read, meditate or admire the view in silence, there is something for everyone with PO ferries mini cruises.

Other costs / savings; Save over 10% on your restaurant meals by booking in advance online. Should you want to stay away a day longer it only costs £10 pp extra. Car parking for foot passengers who want to leave their car at Hull Port are £12 for the 2 night mini cruise.

The 2 for 1 fares are usually available from the beginning of October until the end of December each year.

Ferries sail from Hull to Zeebrugge and Amsterdam, make sure you have a "Z" on your car mirror ticket for Zeebrugge (if it's an "R" you are not going to Zeebrugge).

Bruges - Don't forget the Choco Story Museum or the Chip (Friet) Museum - both are well worth a visit and nice and central.
