P&O Ferries operates in six major destinations from England with new, cruise-ship-quality fleet that make time flies across the English Channel. Frequent travelers of the Dover-Calais route are familiar with the Pride of Kent, Pride of Dover, Pride of Canterbury, Pride of Burgundy, European Seaway, and the Pride of Calais that crisscross along this route to serve 23 sailings a day! And the Hull to Rotterdam or Hull to Zeebrugge is plied by P&O’s more luxurious liner: the Pride of Hull and the Pride of Rotterdam.

Onboard the Pride of Hull or the Pride of Rotterdam for example are first class restaurants, spacious shopping center, casino lounges, bars, coffee shops, and warm, relaxing suites to sleep throughout the night voyage. You hop onboard during the night, do whatever you please, and be on your destination in Belgium or Holland the following morning relaxed and ready to go. The fleets also have dedicated first class accommodation for freight drivers too.

On board the Pride of Dover or Pride of Calais for example, the very short route can be used by executives to review their minutes of meeting in the executive lounge with free Internet access. A traveler can also catch up with his or her shopping in the onboard shopping center, socialize with other passengers in the coffee shop, or just enjoy the ride on deck during warmer season.
