Hull

The Port of Hull can trace its roots back to the middle ages, when it was a key trading gateway in the export of wool and cloth to the Continent. The city retains its strong maritime heritage today, with two of the largest passenger ferries in the world – P&O’s Pride of Rotterdam and Pride of Hull – regularly sailing the North Sea between Hull, Rotterdam and Zeebrugge. Situated two kilometers from the city centre and less than an hour’s drive from Humberside Airport and the new Robin Hood International Airport, the port’s geographical location means it is perfectly placed for turnaround cruises to the European Continent and the Baltic states. Hull also lends itself to domestic cruises as a port of call, owing to its superb location on the East Coast, which is less than 30 kilometers from the mouth of the Humber Estuary. The port offers fully enclosed docks, efficient baggage handling facilities, 24-hour security service and a large car and coach park
