The recently re-opened Rosyth to Zeebrugge passenger ferry service between Scotland and Belgium offers all the convenience of an overnight crossing without the need to travel further south to Newcastle or Hull.
The route was operated by Norfolkline but they have now been taken over by DFDS so expect to see a re-branding soon.
The Scottish Viking was purpose built for this route and the state of the art ship carries both foot passengers and vehicles, including commercial freight, on three overnight crossings from both ports every week. The ferry leaves Rosyth in Fife every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday at 5pm and arriving in Zeebrugge the following day at 2pm (local time). For the return journey, departures are from Zeebrugge every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 6pm (local time) arriving back in Rosyth at 1pm.
On board, you will find a thoroughly modern environment with plenty to do including a large screen cinema showing the latest movies with a great ticket deal at three for £10. A restaurant, bars, casino tables, shop and children’s play area make sure everyone has something to do throughout the journey. Live entertainment is laid on from 8.30pm until midnight.
The 107 spacious cabins with ensuite facilities ensure your crossing is a comfortable and relaxing part of your trip. There are 52 four berth inside cabins and 45 four berth outside cabins plus an additional 57 reclining Pullman seats. Two adapted two berth cabins are available for passengers with disabilities. It’s worth knowing that continental plug adaptors are required to use appliances within the cabins.
The crossing is 20 hours long and three hours longer than when the ferry was running some years ago, but this means that it can operate more economically with reduced carbon emissions for a greener eco footprint thanks to the new ship’s modern design.
