One of the right ways to go to the continent would be to reap the benefits of the a good number of ferry operators running services from the United Kingdom. Bruges is served by the port of Zeebrugge and there are several fleets operating ferries to Bruges via this port.Zeebrugge, which was originally built by the Germans as a U-boat base through the very first World War, is now a modern passenger terminal positioned some eight.5 miles from Bruges. There are actually a lot of bus and rail services connecting the port to Bruges&apos; city centre. A journey by bus will take about one particular hour and by trains reach the city&apos;s Central Station in thirty minutes.Ferries arrive in Zeebrugge from Hull, Dover and Rosyth inside the United Kingdom. A minimum of a single ferry operator (P&amp;amp;O ferries) offers two or three day minicruises to Bruges, leaving from Hull. The two-day mini cruise to Bruges includes two nights on board accommodation and a bus service to and from Bruges centre. Passengers wishing to spend an extra night in one of many a wide range of Bruges hotels can purchase the three-day option and arrange their own accommodation. P&amp;amp;O operates a daily service from Hull and the crossing takes 15 hours.Norfolkline also operate a three times weekly service from Rosyth with a 20 hour crossing. The same line also operates a daily service between Dover and Dunkirk which is an hour&apos;s drive from Bruges.Bruges is also no more than an hours drive from Calais which makes it feasible for those in the South of England to use the Dover-Calais ferry route operated by P&amp;amp;O ferries. Again this is a daily service with plenty of sailings on what is on the list of most popular ferry routes.Another alternative is the daily DFDS Seaways service between Newcastle and Amsterdam which takes about 16 hours each way or the Transeuropa service between Ramsgate &amp;amp; Ostend which also operates daily.One of the great advantages of taking the ferry is the ability to take your own vehicle and so have the option of exploring the local countryside at your leisure and without being tied to local public transport.As you can see you will discover plenty of operators running ferries to Bruges and so the city is accessible by boat from any part from the United Kingdom. There are actually always lots of great deals on offer so taking the ferry need not break the bank.
