Why the cabin comes with the crossing
The overnight ferry from Hull to Rotterdam takes around 12 hours, which is why P&O Ferries treats the cabin as part of the crossing: the Standard cabin is included in the fare. All you have to decide is whether that is enough or whether to pay more for extra space, a double bed or a sea view. Both ships, Pride of Hull and Pride of Rotterdam, have the same categories. On the mini cruise from Hull, your two nights in an en suite cabin are part of the package.
The categories
When you book, you see which categories are available on your date and what they cost. Starting prices for the crossing are on the prices and fares page.
Cabins for particular needs
- Pet-friendly cabins: your dog stays with you overnight. There are only six on each ship, so book early. The rules for animals are on the pets page.
- Accessible cabins: step-free, with a shower seat. Mention what you need when you book.
- Interconnecting cabins: two cabins with a connecting door, handy for families with older children.
The Sleep Lounge as an alternative
If you would rather not sleep in a cabin, you can book a reclining seat in the Sleep Lounge. It has 36 reclining seats, is for adults only and cannot be booked on the mini cruise. Access is by code, and there are lockers and USB sockets. You are given your seat at check-in, and the booking shows whether the Sleep Lounge is offered on your sailing. For a whole night, though, a cabin with its own bathroom is usually the better choice, especially if you are driving on in the morning.
Tips for the night
- Take everything you need for the night out of the car. You can't go back to the vehicle decks during the crossing.
- Put your watch forward: the Netherlands is an hour ahead of the UK, so you lose an hour on the way to Rotterdam.
- Breakfast is served before arrival; see food on board.
FAQ
Common questions about cabins
What does a Premier cabin add over a Standard cabin? +
More comfort for the night. Premier cabins come as inside or outside cabins, with tea and coffee in the cabin, and the Premier Double Bed has a double bed and a sea view. The Standard cabin, by contrast, is already included in the fare. You see the supplements when you book, and starting prices are on the prices and fares page.
Can children use the Sleep Lounge? +
No, the Sleep Lounge is for adults only, so families sleep in a cabin. The Sleep Lounge is not available on the mini cruise.
Can my dog stay with me in the cabin overnight? +
Yes, in one of the six pet-friendly cabins on each ship. They book up quickly, and if none is free your dog spends the night in a kennel on board. The rules are on the pets page.
Are there cabins for wheelchair users? +
Yes, the accessible cabins are step-free and have a shower seat. Say what you need when you book, so the crew can also help you board. Other facilities are described on the Pride of Rotterdam and Pride of Hull page.
