P&O ferry prices, Hull/Rotterdam.

[Brandane]

I have holidays to take in early June. One idea was to head over to Holland with bike and do a tour. However, a quick check on the ferry price has put a stop to that. One passenger, one bike, return. Leaving 2nd June, returning 9th June. £430 (Fare is about £100 each way, plus compulsory cabin at £98 each way, then they have the cheek to charge a £32 environmental charge on top of all that). Just stupid.

The days of the cheap Dutch Dash from Hull are long gone

Alternative DFDS Newcastle to Holland, can't quite fathem their website, though possible discounts for over 60 as well...

I'm glad P&O aren't necessary for any ferry trips I'd want to take, given their appalling actions a few years ago.

Poole is too far away. We're then getting into "fly somewhere" territory, which I was trying to avoid. Or stick with Blighty, which is looking most likely.

Just done a dummy booking and got to £170 for Harwich to Hook of Holland. Day time, no cabin needed, environmental charge is not extra but within the ticket price.

Sorry I ment that it's only across the north sea!

Had it been a mini cruise to Bilbao then I would have been less surprised!

I had no idea it all cost that these days, that's brutal!

If you're touring, the overnight cabin is instead of a hotel. I don't think that's particularly expensive, personally.

I looked at a trip to the Shetland Islands this year, inc a Car for 2 Passengers it's £700 or thereabouts with a cabin. Was kind of gobsmacked at how expensive it was. Decided to cancel Shetlands and going elsewhere in Scotland now.

Fly to Sumburgh, it's probably cheaper 🙄
