Ferries to the Netherlands
About the ferry routes in and around Holland
There are three different ferries from England to the Netherlands: from Hull to Rotterdam, from Newcastle to Amsterdam, and from Harwich to Hook of Holland. You could also travel from France (from Dover to Dunkirk or Calais).
So, no matter where you depart from in the UK, there is always a convenient crossing to the Netherlands available.
There was briefly a ferry from the Netherlands to Norway, but it is no longer in operation. If you wish to travel from the Netherlands to Norway, you will need to go through Germany and/or Denmark.
For passengers from England, the Eurotunnel is also a good option to travel to the Netherlands. This is a good alternative to the ferry, especially if you want to travel to Amsterdam without a car. The Eurostar train offers possibilities.
Domestic ferry routes
The most important ferry connections within the Netherlands are the ferry services to the Wadden Islands. From the Dutch mainland, you can go to five Dutch islands. During summer, it is also possible to travel between some of the islands

Hello good afternoon i would ask you ,there is some ferry which start from South spain to netherland or from spain france ?
Hi Luigi,
I'm afraid there isn't. There are ferries from Northern Spain to the UK and Ireland. If you travel from either Bilbao or Santander to Portsmouth (UK) and a ferry from Portsmouth to France for example. But there isn't a direct passenger ferry from Spain to the Netherlands.
Is there a ferry from the east coast of US to Netherlands?
@Beldina, you have the Queen Mary 2 that makes Transatlantic Crossings from Southampton UK (and sometimes (rarely) stops in The Netherlands). This is an expensive trip though, not really a ferry. A cheap way to cross the Atlantic Ocean is not possible.
