Introducing Port-Hopping
UK ferry operators have identified an emerging travel trend, which sees holidaymakers visiting multiple destinations within one trip. So called ‘Port hoppers’ want to “sea more” during their holiday by using transport networks to visit several locations, often departing on one ferry route and returning home via a different port.
More Brits are embracing the flexibility and the different experiences ferry travel offers to immerse themselves in local culture. Prioritising exploration, they are prolonging their adventures to include detours, tack on different destinations and incorporate special journeys and ferry rides.
To help you plan your dream multi-destination holiday we’ve charted the Ultimate Port Hopping itinerary, encouraging use of the extensive road, and sea networks that link Britain to a wide variety of holiday destinations, Rail, Sail and Away itineraries for staycationers and the 2026 Travel Bingo itinerary, which sets out to bag a range of diverse experiences and visit multiple countries in a 4-day break.
