Smyril Line from Hirtshals is the only way to get your motorhome to the Faroe Islands and Iceland — book months ahead.
Overwintering on the Canaries: 2 nights at sea from Huelva or Cádiz.
From southern France or Tuscany; combine with Sardinia via Bonifacio.
Overnight ferries from Barcelona/Valencia/Dénia; arrange campsites in advance.
Ferry or Eurotunnel; Ireland can also be reached directly from France, without a UK ETA.
Africa is a 1.5-hour crossing away — or board in southern France and skip 2,500 km of driving.
What sailing costs versus driving — in kilometres, time and comfort.
IJmuiden–Newcastle: ±80 km driving NL + 16.75 hrs overnight ferry + ±195 km driving UK
±330 km to Calais + Eurotunnel/ferry + ±760 km through England (total ±1,100 km driving)
Saving: ±800–850 driving kilometres and a hotel night — you sleep on board; the ferry costs more in euros but saves fuel (±€150–200) and time
Hoek van Holland–Harwich: ±85 km driving NL + 7 hrs ferry (daytime) + ±130 km driving UK
±330 km to Calais + 35 min Eurotunnel/1.5 hrs ferry + ±130 km to London
Saving: ±250 fewer driving kilometres via Hoek; via Calais you are faster door to door though (±6.5 hrs vs ±10 hrs) — Calais/tunnel wins on time, Harwich on comfort and driving kilometres
Direct: drive to Cherbourg ±770 km + 19 hrs ferry (€500–900 high season); or drive to Dunkirk ±280 km + 24 hrs DFDS ferry (€550–850); no UK ETA needed
UK landbridge: ±330 km to Calais + Eurotunnel (€250–520) + ±570 km through GB + Holyhead–Dublin 3.5 hrs (€250–450) = ±900 driving kilometres and ±€500–970 in crossings
Saving: Direct via Cherbourg/Dunkirk saves ±600–900 driving kilometres through GB, double check-ins and the UK ETA; on balance costs are comparable — the landbridge is more flexible and often faster though (±14 hrs vs ±24–26 hrs total)
There is NO ferry NL→Spain; the nearest option is Portsmouth–Santander/Bilbao (±31 hrs), but then you first have to cross the Channel — only worthwhile if you're travelling via England anyway
±1,400–1,460 km driving through Belgium/France (±13.5–14.5 hrs), the standard route for NL motorhomes
Saving: For NL motorhomes the ferry saves nothing (a detour); for UK motorhomes Portsmouth–Santander actually saves ±1,300 km driving through France (±€250–400 fuel/tolls + 2 overnight stops)
Hoek van Holland–Harwich (7 hrs) + ±230 km driving Harwich→Portsmouth
±330 km to Calais + Dover crossing + ±250 km driving to Portsmouth (total ±580 km driving)
Saving: Via Harwich ±350 fewer driving kilometres but a longer total journey time; via Calais is more common and cheaper for those wanting to continue the same day to a Brittany Ferries sailing
option A: drive to Kiel (±520 km, 5.5 hrs) + Color Line 20 hrs incl. mandatory cabin (€450–900 motorhome+2, indication); option B: drive to Hirtshals (±1,000 km, 10 hrs) + 3¼ hrs ferry to Kristiansand (€100–350) + 320 km to Oslo
±1,430 km / ±15 hrs driving via Hamburg–Storebælt–Øresund–Gothenburg; tolls motorhome ≤3.5 t ±€165 (Storebælt €42 + Øresund €125), >3.5 t or >10 m considerably more
Saving: The Hirtshals route is usually the cheapest and most flexible for motorhomes; Kiel–Oslo saves ±900 km driving and a hotel night but costs more on balance — pick it as a mini-cruise
20 hrs non-stop, daily at 14:00, cabin mandatory (€450–900 motorhome+2 high season, indication)
±1,080 km / ±11.5 hrs via Storebælt+Øresund (tolls motorhome ±€165) or ±1,130 km via the Puttgarden ferry
Saving: the ferry saves ±1,080 km, tolls, fuel (±€250-350 diesel calculated as a return) and an overnight stop; driving is faster on the clock
e.g. Travemünde/Rostock–Trelleborg (±480 km driving + 6-9 hrs ferry €120-350) and then 600 km through Sweden; or Kiel–Gothenburg + 470 km
±1,650 km / ±17 hrs via Fehmarn/Jutland and the Øresund Bridge (tolls ±€165 motorhome)
Saving: the overnight ferry Germany–Sweden replaces the Danish tolls and a hotel night; small time difference, greater comfort
Finnlines 30 hrs daily; motorhome package for 2 people incl. cabin €711–968 one-way (season-dependent, indication)
±2,100 km via Poland + the Via Baltica (LT/LV/EE) + ferry Tallinn–Helsinki 2 hrs (±€70-180 motorhome) — 3-4 driving days; driving through Russia is not possible
Saving: the ferry saves 3-4 driving days and ±€400-600 in fuel/campsites; the overland route is only interesting if you actually want to see the Baltic states
