Comments
We are often asked about the possibility of taking a short trip to get a taste of cargo ship travel. This trip offers the opportunity to experience cargo ship life for a few days.
The ship calls at Hull and Tilbury on an irregular basis, and it is usually only decided 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, where longer layovers offer the opportunity to take the train to London. Always enjoyable trips on the Meuse and Thames.
The ship is moored in Rotterdam at Beatrixhaven, close to the city centre. In Rotterdam, embarkation is assisted by a taxi service that takes passengers to the ship and provides competent support during embarkation (subject to a charge of approximately €60 per trip for embarkation at ports close to the city centre).
There is a strict ban on alcohol on board.
