Comments
We are often asked about the possibility of taking a short trip to get to know cargo ship travel. This trip offers the opportunity to get a taste of life on a cargo ship for a few days.
The ship calls at Hull and Tilbury on an irregular basis; as a rule, it is not decided until shortly before departure which English port will be called at. The port cannot be selected when booking.
Hull is located on the tidal Humber, and is well worth a visit. Tilbury is located at the mouth of the Thames, offering the opportunity to take the train to London during longer layovers. Always enjoyable trips on the Maas and Thames.
The ship is moored in Rotterdam at Beatrixhaven, close to the city center. In Rotterdam, we recommend a shuttle service that takes passengers to the ship (subject to a charge of approximately € 60.00 per trip).
There is a strict ban on alcohol on board.
