Superfast Ferries

[Deester]

Hi all,

anyone used the zeebrugge to rosyth ferry? I am driving up next weekend to Scotland from Germany and would like to know if its easy enough to find etc in Zeebrugge? Is it suitable for low cars? Is Zeebrugge the kind of place you could spend a day looking around?

Thanks,
Deester

Nothing usefull to add sorry

I went the other way (Rosyth to Zeebrugge) last July. Car wasn't particularly low (Impreza) so no problems at all and the front splitter survived, but the loading ramp was quite angled and I thing a really low slung car would have trouble. Won't it vary depending on the tide when you arrive? I'm not a ferry expert!

Zeebrugge terminal looked easy to find. Well, I easily found my way out of it, so in theory it should be easy to get to. I only ran into trouble later trying to find Denmark in the dark

Nice new-ish ferry too, not so crowded but not as much in the way of entertainment as I'm used to...

hi

been to zeebruge a couple for ferries you can easily spend a couple of hours looking round the city while you are weighting.

Also on a side note if you are interested in art. In one of the churches there is a sculpture buy on of the turtle’s (Mickhel angelow, Leonardo, Donatelow, cant remember the other ones name ) although I cannot remember witch one. I believe there are not many of theas out side of Italy and if you have a spire 5 mins and are in the area it is worth checking out.

Deester, good ferry! expensive for GB prices, food good in the restaurants, service excellent! Even had a coolie carry my bag from the cardeck to the cabin! (perhaps the Jag has advantages after all?) Entertainment POOR, no cinema, no TV just electronic games, shopping like all ferries shite, expensive junk!
But if you want a good clean ferry with a comfortable cabin/bed, good food and a bar with a fair selection, I can recommend it! And a VERY multinational crew! and you can usually sleep a bit as they don't have a nauseous woman shouting in 4 languages down the tannoy 2 hours before you land! AND you get on board when you get there, you don't have to queue like idiots on the quay until some eejit says you can all board in a rush together..... then you have time to investigate everything, take a stroll around the decks without the panic that is North Sea Ferries!

Thanks guys! Its booked, the service looks OK but the main thing is it saves me a LOT of driving!

Thanks again,
Deester

Just to add to what Blake said, Zeebruge means "port of Bruge" (or something to that effect), an yea, you can spend ages looking round bruge -loads of museams an stuff if that takes your fancy. -Also, Horse an carts with disk brakes and nappies on

If you want hypermarkets for cheap drink to bring back, then I think you'd be better off stopping off down the coast a bit nearer calais as I didnt see much near the port.
