Ferry to Belgium

Direct Ferries offer a quick and easy way of booking ferries to Belgium, a country steeped with history from the battlefields of Flanders to the Grand Place in Brussels. Globally renowned for its chocolate and craft beers, Belgium has long since been one of the most popular destinations in northern Europe, attracting millions of tourists every year.

The 3 main regions of Belgium are visually very different too. The Flemish or Flanders region covers the North of the country and includes the cities of Antwerp, Ghent, Leuven and Bruges, while the Walloon region covers the south with its largest cities being Charleroi, Liege, Namur and Mons. Brussels, the capital marks the meeting of the two.

Due to its location, ferries provide one of the best methods of reaching Belgium from the UK with minimal driving. Crossings are available throughout the year and are operated by modern cruise ferries. Ferry crossings from the south of England (usually to Ostend) are often revived but nothing permanent is currently available.

If you are travelling from England, especially from the south, then it may be more convenient to get to Belgium by travelling to a port in France or Holland.
