19721973 Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Just had a quote for a North Sea crossing from Immingham to Brevik with DFDS seaways freight carrying ships for a VW T5 over 1.85 high up to 6m long £192. One passenger including cabin food and hot drinks £164. Plus £31 admin fee. The rest of the charges: - Car up to 6m +1.85 high £144 Van over 1.85 up to 9m long £355 Van over 1.85 up to 12m long £480 Van over 1.85 up to 18m long £691 Passenger price is the same for all vehicles Hope this is of some help.

Keithl Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Is that single or return? As a comparison we have a return from Harwich to Hook of Holland with Stena, June out, July return with cabin one way (other is day crossing) for less than £200. This is for a sub 7 m MH over 3 m high. The downside is we then have a 640 mile drive from H of H to Hirtshals in the very North of Denmark. From Esbjerg it would have only been 180 miles! Keith.

19721973 Posted May 22, 2015 Author Share Posted May 22, 2015 It’s just one way I’m afraid, Don’t forget on top of your 650 miles you have ferry or bridge crossings wear and tear on you van ect, its probable the more relaxing method to get to Norway or Sweden rather than the long drive round.

19721973 Posted May 23, 2015 Author Share Posted May 23, 2015 But the Immingham to Brevik is just below oslo in Sweden cuts out the long drive round to Sweden or Norway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracker Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 19721973 - 2015-05-23 12:03 PM But the Immingham to Brevik is just below oslo in Sweden cuts out the long drive round to Sweden or Norway If going to Sweden Gothenburg may be a better choice? Both also avoid the two tolls from Denmark into Sweden which are not too bad under 6.00 metres but expensive if you are over as shown in the other thread on this topic entitled 'Scandinavia Ferry'. Mind you the drive over the bridges is interesting and the engineering is pretty spectacular too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterjl Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Hi Being retired time is not an issue so prefer a cheap Dover crossing ( about£100 return) and make the overland journey part of the adventure. across the bridge to Malmo was 3 days from leaving home. A couple of nights there and then some Swedish stops before crossing into Norway. Similar heading to top of Denmark. We usually catch midday ferry, shop in France then stop in Ypres where you can walk into town for a beer and and the Belgium Chocolate essential supplies.

hallii Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 The ferry is primarily for freight. They will let you book not earlier than 30 days and no pets allowed. If a HGV decides to take the ferry you will be bumped off and have to wait until the next ferry. That might be 3 days off. I looked into it very fully, no ifs or buts, you might book a sailing but it isn't worth the paper it's written on. Three days on the dock? Could be nice and sunny :-D H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
