Travelled to Bruges from Hull on 1st February 2003 with my partner. The ferry was the Pride of Hull which departed on the Friday evening and arrived Saturday morning at 8am. We then transferred to Bruges by coach, after an excellent breakfast which was great value from self service buffet.

The en-suite cabin was very cosy and adequate for an overnight crossing.There is a shower and toiletries provided with towels.
We spent an interesting day in Bruges,despite the weather ....... five inches of snow....however plenty of cosy cafes to get something warm to eat and drink at a reasonable price.

The coach picked us up at the railway station and we arrived safely back to board the ferry for our return journey.

The staff were excellent, plenty of entertainment on boardand the shopping facilities were very good. The cigarette prices on the ferry were comparable with prices in Bruges so worth waiting to purchase on way back.
All in all a very good trip no complaints and excellent value. Check out the web site regularly for special offers.This trip only cost £111.00 in total including coach transfer,brekafast evening meal on outward journey and breakfast before disembarking......what a bargain!!!.
