Cargo ship round trip in Northern Europe

On a spacious cargo ship, which belongs to a German shipping company and is particularly large for the route, you will travel from Rotterdam to Dublin, Belfast, Liverpool, Greenock and back. Experience the refreshing sea air and an undisturbed journey without interruptions. When the sun shines, the English Channel is a bright bottle green, while the Atlantic and the Irish Sea are a brilliant royal blue. On the outward journey, the French port of Dunkirk is called at.

In the winter months from October to March, the sea can be quite rough, so the maximum age for this voyage is 70 years. Departures take place twice a month.

Boarding in Rotterdam is via the ship's terminal, which can only be reached via a professional crew service. You will receive the relevant contact details when booking and payment is made directly on board. The costs vary depending on the route and are between 60 EUR and 150 EUR.

Passengers boarding in Rotterdam are picked up at a location agreed with the shuttle service, e.g. at the train station, hotel or at the address of the shuttle service. The captain of the respective ships usually determines the time of embarkation. The shuttle service will coordinate this if several passengers need to board a ship.
The prices depend on where the ship is moored (inner-city such as Waalhaven or Prinses-Beatrixhaven approx. 60 EUR, Europoort 120-150 EUR).
The shuttle service takes all passengers to the Immigration Office beforehand, so they don´t need to worry about that.

No Covid-19 vaccinations or other measures are required for this cargo ship journey.
