Family holidays are all about making memories – not managing meltdowns in airport queues. That’s why more and more families are choosing to travel by sea with P&O Ferries, where the holiday fun starts the moment you step on board.
With spacious cabins, kid-friendly dining, play areas, and the freedom to move around, P&O Ferries offers a smooth and stress-free start to your European adventure. Here’s why kids (and parents!) love ferry travel so much:
🛳️ 1. The Fun Starts Before You Even Arrive
Forget the airport stress. No long check-in queues, no rushing to gates, no cramped airplane seats. When you travel by ferry, the journey itself becomes part of the holiday.
Kids can enjoy:
- 🚶♂️ Space to move and explore
- 🎉 Dedicated play areas on selected sailings
- 🎬 Family-friendly films and entertainment
- 🍔 Food they actually want to eat!
Parents can relax too, with comfortable lounges, scenic views, and the chance to sit back while the kids stay entertained.
🛏️ 2. Cosy Cabins = Well-Rested Families
Long journeys with tired kids? Not anymore. P&O Ferries’ en suite cabins offer a peaceful retreat for the whole family. Whether you’re sailing overnight from Hull to Rotterdam or taking a short trip, everyone gets their own bed, privacy, and space to wind down.
Benefits include:
✔️ Beds for the whole family
✔️ Private bathrooms
✔️ Room to store bags and toys
✔️ Quiet time after a day of excitement
🍽️ 3. Mealtime = No Fuss Dining
Hungry tummies are no problem on board. With multiple dining options available, even the pickiest eaters will find something they love.
Onboard dining features:
- 🍕 Kid-friendly menus
- 🧃 Healthy snacks & treats
- 🪑 High chairs available
- ☕ Cafés for parents who need caffeine breaks!
Plus, there’s no pressure to sit still in your seat like on a plane – kids can take breaks, stretch their legs, and come back when they’re ready to eat.
🎒 4. Bring What You Need – Without Packing Light
Travelling with kids often means bringing everything but the kitchen sink. The good news? There are no luggage limits when you travel with P&O Ferries!
🧸 Pack the buggy, the bikes, the snacks, the toys – and still have room for souvenirs on the way back.
Driving on board? Even better! With your car, you can travel door-to-door in comfort, without the hassle of rentals or shuttle buses.
🐾 5. Even Pets Are Welcome!
Travelling with the whole family? That includes your furry friends. P&O Ferries offers pet-friendly options, so your dog or cat doesn’t get left behind.
🏖️ 6. The Netherlands is Perfect for Families
