    Crossings by North Sea Ferries are from Hull to Zeebrugge or Hull to Rotterdam.

    Irish sea crossings are from Hollyhead to Dun Laoghaire/Dublin by Irish Ferries conventional ferry or fast craft.

    Our reservations staff will be pleased to advise the crossings to be used on each departure. Occasionally, changes may have to be made to these routes prior to travel. Generally this would be due to events such as strike, fault on route, weather conditions etc. If we cannot operate an itinerary due to not being able to get across the channel by one route we will always endeavour to continue the tour by using an alternative crossing.

    If possible, you would be notified of the change before travel. However, some changes may have to be made once the journey has commenced, in which case we would not be able to notify you. Such changes are uncommon, but we can never 100% guarantee any Channel crossing.
