I want to take my car for a two week trip to Holland are there any ferry options that go directly to Holland? I’m in the north of England and don’t want to go on the ferries to France and then drive to Holland. Please recommend an option that makes travel to Belgium easy.
Yes, there are direct ferry services from the UK to the Netherlands.
From the UK, Harwich, Hull and Newcastle.
To Hook of Holland, Rotterdam and Amsterdam.
Harwich to Hook of Holland is a Stena Line service, offering two options: a day ferry and an overnight ferry.
I usually try to use DFDS ferries, but the Newcastle Amsterdam service is always very busy, and in the summer, this isn’t my preferred option.
There’s an overnight ferry service from Hull to Rotterdam in the Netherlands. Again, not my favourite service, but it’s convenient for travel from the north of England.
When you arrive, it’s an easy two-hour drive to Brussels or Bruges.
