How prices work
There is no fixed price list for the ferry between Hull and Rotterdam. P&O Ferries prices dynamically: the closer the travel date and the fuller the ship, the higher the fare. In the summer holidays, on bank holidays and at weekends the overnight ferry is in more demand than on a Tuesday in autumn. If you can choose your day, moving by a single day often saves money.
Four things set the price: your vehicle with its length and height, the number of passengers, the cabin and the fare. With P&O Ferries the Standard cabin is included in the fare, so you don't pay for a seat and then again for a bed. There are no luggage limits, which makes a real difference if you travel by car or motorhome.
Prices at a glance
Starting prices; the exact price for your date is shown when you book.
Each extra passenger, a larger vehicle and a higher cabin category push the price up. The return from Rotterdam to Hull is priced separately. The mini cruise covers the return sailing, two nights in an en suite cabin and the coach transfers. P&O Ferries sells it directly, and the mini cruise page explains how it works. With Mini Cruise Plus you arrange your own accommodation for the extra night.
The three fares
P&O Ferries sells every sailing in three fares:
- Standard is the cheapest fare and suits you if your travel date is fixed. Changes cost a fee, and the ticket is non-refundable.
- Standard Flexi lets you change date and time without an amendment fee; you only pay any difference in price. It is refundable, less cancellation fees.
- Fully Flexi gives you the most freedom: you can switch to any departure time and the ticket is refundable, but it costs considerably more.
On every fare you can update passenger details and vehicle registration free of charge, for example if you end up taking a different car.
Cabins and passengers
Because you cross overnight, the cabin is part of the journey rather than an extra. The Standard cabin with shower, toilet and bedding is included. You pay more for a Premier cabin with tea and coffee, a Premier Double Bed with a sea view, a Club cabin with a minibar or a Club Suite with a living area. Instead of a cabin, adults can book a reclining seat in the Sleep Lounge. The cabins page sets out which category suits which trip.
Vehicles and motorhomes
A car is the basic case. Motorhomes, cars towing a caravan or trailer, and high vehicles pay more depending on length and height. Give the exact dimensions, including roof box, bike rack and trailer, because a vehicle booked too small can prove expensive at the terminal. Motorbikes cost less than a car. Motorhomes also come with a few extra rules, for example their gas bottles have to be declared.
What costs extra
- Travel documents: With a British or Irish passport you don't need an ETA to come back into the UK, and registering in the EU's Entry/Exit System (EES) at Europoort is free. Anyone in your group travelling on another passport may need an ETA for the return. The check-in page has the details.
- Food: Dinner and breakfast are not included in the fare. You can add them when you book or pay on board; see food on board.
- Dog: You book a kennel or a pet-friendly cabin for your dog, and every trip needs a new animal health certificate from an official vet. See pets.
- Parking: If you travel from Hull as a foot passenger, you can leave your car at the terminal and pay through the RingGo app.
Changes and cancellations
What a change or cancellation costs depends on your fare, and the exact conditions for your booking are in your booking confirmation. If you are not sure your date will hold, weigh the extra cost of Standard Flexi against the amendment fee on Standard and the risk of losing a Standard ticket altogether.
FAQ
Common questions about the cost of the crossing
Is a return cheaper than two single crossings? +
Not automatically. Each direction has its own price for the day you choose. Compare both directions in the price search and, if you are flexible, try the days either side.
Do I have to pay extra for a cabin? +
The Standard cabin with shower and toilet is part of the crossing. You only pay more for a higher category such as Premier, Club or State Room. The categories are described on the cabins page.
Which fare makes sense if my plans are not fixed yet? +
Standard is the cheapest fare, but changes cost a fee and the ticket is non-refundable. If your travel date might still move, Standard Flexi is usually the better choice: there is no amendment fee, and you only pay any difference in price.
What does the mini cruise cost? +
The mini cruise from Hull to Amsterdam or Rotterdam starts at £75 per person, based on two people sharing a cabin on Sunday to Wednesday departures. Supplements apply from Thursday to Saturday and on peak dates. The table above shows the starting prices, and the mini cruise page explains how the trip works.
