Where do ferries go from Harwich and Felixstowe these days???

Hi all.How do you get to Belgium these days by ferry. I used to get bored and just jump on a ferry and have a weekend in Blankenburge or Zeebruge.

Bit late to this, but the only passenger ferries from Felixstowe these days are the foot ferries that go to Harwich and Dovercourt from the Port viewing are or the one that goes to Bawdsey from Old Felixstowe Ferry.

You could always try stowing away on the ro-ro freight ferry to Vlaardingen.

Whilst we are still part of the EU, the Eurostar will whisk direct to Brussels far faster than any ferry

18 months from now you'll need a visa and a very long wait to go Dover to Calais or Dunkirk, the other (nicer) option is Harwich to Hook.

How do you know that you will need a visa?
And why should the queues be that much worse?
And are you suggesting that the Eurostar will be in some way off-limits a no-no?

I am afraid Brains, despite your many good posts I find your post bizarre.

Hell, I travelled across Europe as a student with frontier checks all over the place.
And went into the old eastern block a few times - by plane and train - and don't remember any great problems.
Strangely I don't remember having to leave any trains and stand in cold railway sidings while men in frightening hats examined my papers. I seem to remember that stuff was looked at while the train rattled on.
