Hi
Off to the 6 days of Ghent in November, some mates from down south are going to book Eurostar, I live in York and work in Hull so looking to take the ferry and cycle to Ghent. Can't believe how much it is for a foot passenger on the ferry, £200, not done it for years and the last time I did you did not have to have a cabin, now it's compulrory and probably where the cost comes in.
Anyone know of any offers, codes etc that could bring this down? If not may have to do the Eurostar.

Seems expensive - although if return, it saves 2 nights hotel and also food is included, or has that changed?,
And if you took Eurostar it'd probably cost you another days' holiday and you'd need a hotel anyway to cover the same night.
Have you looked at a shared cabin?
The main cost is the cabin and if you're on your own this could really bump up the cost. I imagine the cost for 2 people is only marginally more than the cost for 1.
We only paid £300 for 2 people with a car to go Hull - Rotterdam

Food's not included, hasn't been for years

Looks like they get cheaper nearer the sailing date, bizarrely. Might be worth waiting?

Yes, it's the cabin that costs, might try a shared cabin, could look for peeps to share with on other more ready forums perhaps.
If I get cheap train tickets to London soon cou
D be cheaper on the Eurostar.
If you can find another 2 or 3 to share with it can work out good value. £200 ish for 4
We did a 3 day trip in May, worked out around £120 each for cabin and food both ways - but that's based on the cabins being full
Remember and pre book the food as well to save a bit more otherwise the buffet is expensive and the 'restaurant' is worse
