Why travel by ferry from Ramsgate to Ostend?

Whether you're travelling alone, as a couple or with the family, a Ramsgate to Ostend ferry can be a convenient and enjoyable option for getting to Ostend. Here are 3 reasons why we think a ferry from Ramsgate to Ostend is an ideal way to travel.

So you don't have to worry about the amount of luggage
One piece of luggage is free, all the others have to be paid for. This is often the formula used when we travel with other modes of transport, which very often leads to a significant increase in the bill. For the Ramsgate to Ostend crossing, as long as all your luggage is contained in your car, no supplement is required. If you are travelling as a pedestrian, the conditions may be more restrictive as you will need to carry your luggage with you until you arrive in Ostend. However, many ships provide luggage storage for foot passengers. Check with TransEuropa Ferries.
No need to worry about travelling with your bike
Travelling with your bike on a train, plane or bus is often a nightmare because it is so cumbersome to carry. However, on a ferry, you don't have this problem: your bike is loaded directly into the ship's huge garage. You travel from Ramsgate to Ostend with complete peace of mind, without fear of damage to your bike. You will get on your bike in Ostend to get off the boat.
Not to be bored on board... unlike the plane
Generally speaking, to get to Ostend or anywhere else, the plane is the fastest way. The problem is that you are stuck in your seat for several hours. During the Ramsgate Ostend ferry journey with TransEuropa Ferries, there are countless opportunities to enjoy restaurants and bars, or to stroll and sunbathe on a promenade deck... The services and the level of freedom during a flight are radically different!
