FAQ Timetable
Questions and answers we have gotten over time ⮞
Does the check-in closing time differ for passengers with a car, motorbike, or those travelling on foot?
Are sailing times ever adjusted slightly to match tidal conditions at Hull or Europoort, or are they fixed year round?
No, the official departure and arrival times (approximately 20:30 from Hull and 21:00 from Rotterdam) are fixed; however, in practice, slight variations of 10–20 minutes can occur due to port traffic or operational adjustments. These are reflected in the live timetable when relevant.
How often do both ships, Pride of Hull and Pride of Rotterdam, sail on the same night, and how is that shown in the timetable?
Both vessels operate the route daily, crossing in opposite directions overnight. The timetable shows two overlapping sailings each night: one departing Hull for Rotterdam and the other departing Rotterdam for Hull at roughly the same time.
Why is sometimes the ship not listed in your timetable overview?
Our timetable is reliant on API data, and sometimes the API doesn't have definite sailings.
Is there a difference in arrival punctuality between weekday and weekend sailings on the Hull–Rotterdam route?
Minor differences exist. Weekday sailings tend to arrive closer to schedule because freight loading is more predictable, while weekend sailings can vary slightly due to higher passenger volume and longer boarding times.
