Ferry Hull to Rotterdam costs

P&O Ferries advertises a starting price of €147,- per person for a single journey without a car. This is possible with an ideal booking in the low season, which you then calculate back to ‘per person. In reality, however, you will notice that this is not a very realistic price because of this ferry's high demand and popularity; the cheapest tickets are often gone quickly.

A single trip is usually much more expensive, and for a return trip with a family of 4 (two adults, two kids) with a car, you will quickly pay around €558. You will get two nights on board for this and no longer have to rent/book at the location.

Generally, the earlier you book, the cheaper it is. In addition, there are sometimes offers that you can take advantage of.
