We used the Hull to Zeebrugge crossing many times in the past but latterly have taken the long drive to Portsmouth and back. This drive has become more onerous for us now (particularly the return journey back up to North Yorks). I would like to hear opinions/experiences of using the Hull to Rotterdam route. eg the ease of travel from the port and onward travel into eastern/central France. Thanks in advance.

You will have disembarked the ferry at Rotterdam Europort by 08:30hrs (e) with a full English on board and be well on your way towards Metz by lunchtime using the excellent autoroutes...There are plenty of ACSI sites in both Belgium and Luxembourg en route....And as eribaMotters and others say.... you should try and spend a couple of nights at Vakantiepark Delftse Hout, Delft but on the return journey as is a few miles north of Rotterdam.
We have just done exactly that and disembarked Hull this morning at 08-00 hrs...home by 10-30hrs.. Yes the ferry cost is now a little eye watering compared to recent years, caravans still go free at weekends, and the 'Kitchen' menu has been reduced in choices...the good news is that Black Pudding is till served at breakfast !! Enjoy your trip

Thank you GTP and welcome home....just in time for Saturday 's festivities. I feel reassured that taking the Hull/Rotterdam route is right for us. We'd rather do 100 miles each way to Hull instead of 324 each way to Portsmouth (who wouldnt ..especially as the last 2 times were horrendous journeys). We will be aiming to end with a few days... hopefully at Delft.
Thanks
