Unfortunately, this service was discontinued in 2020. However, <strong>Belgium is easily reached from the arrival port in Rotterdam<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Belgium is a great destination to reach by ferry from Hull. Once you step on board, the ferry sails overnight all the way south, leaving you with <strong>only a short journey after arrival<\/strong>. When the roads are clear, you can reach the Belgian border in under an hour. Cities like Antwerp, Ghent, and Bruges are then just a short drive away. For holidaymakers, this means you can wake up ready to enjoy your first full day in Belgium. The same goes for your return journey, as the ferry from Rotterdam departs late in the evening (<a href=\"https:\/\/hull-rotterdam.com\/uk\/timetable\/\" style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; background-color: #ffffff;\">see the timetable<\/a> for exact times).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"drive-times-from-rotterdam-port\">Drive times from Rotterdam Port<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From the ferry port in Rotterdam, you can reach Belgium quickly and easily by car.

Operated by P&amp;O Ferries, this overnight service was popular with both leisure travellers and freight customers, offering an easy way to reach mainland Europe without the long drive to southern ports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, due to a steady decline in passenger numbers and changing freight demands,<strong> the route was discontinued in March 2020<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today, the <a href=\"https:\/\/hull-rotterdam.com\/uk\/\">Hull to Rotterdam route<\/a> remains the best alternative for travellers heading to Belgium, <a href=\"https:\/\/hull-rotterdam.com\/uk\/destination\/france\/\">France<\/a>, or beyond.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group hr-section hr-wide hr-t50 hr-b50 is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns hr-split is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-7387b849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column hr-panel-blue hr-panel-tight is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<p class=\"hr-title wp-block-paragraph\">Learn more about the ferry crossing to Rotterdam<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At Hull-Rotterdam.com, we provide all the essential information about the crossing.
