Where to Travel Over Christmas

Travel options for Christmas are practically limitless, especially as P&O Ferries offers routes to some of Europe's most charming locations. Here are a few of these locations to think about if you want inspiration for where to travel at Christmas:

France:

See the allure of northern France by taking a ferry from Dover to Calais. There are several charming Christmas markets in Calais itself where you can experience the joy of the season. You may also go on a day trip to Lille or Paris, where the air is filled with the aroma of roast chestnuts and mulled wine, and the streets are adorned with shimmering lights. We believe that one of the best places to travel during Christmas is a place that blends joy, culture, and history, with France being one of those places.

Belgium:

Travelling from Hull to Rotterdam will take you across the centre of Belgium in a short car ride. Cities such as Bruges and Brussels, with their charming Christmas markets, are the places where the enchantment of Christmas truly comes to life. Just picture perusing unique gift-filled shops, savouring decadent Belgian chocolates, and ice skating outside - it's the true magic of Christmas. A remarkable Christmas celebration can be experienced against the picture-perfect backdrop of Belgium's medieval beauty combined with seasonal decorations.

Netherlands:

The Hull to Rotterdam route allows holidaymakers to visit the Netherlands, specifically in cities like Amsterdam and Rotterdam where the holiday is so vivid. The canals of Amsterdam are well illuminated and the Christmas markets bring so many aspects of the festive season. Rotterdam is a great city due to its post-modern architecture and different Christmas events, so it is ideal to visit during the holiday season.
