Travelling while pregnant or with children
Travelling while pregnant or with children should be a comfortable and enjoyable experience. Whether you need a little extra support whilst pregnant or are planning a family journey, our teams are here to help with practical assistance and family-friendly facilities throughout your trip.
Most passengers can travel comfortably during pregnancy.
For travel on the Harwich - Hook of Holland route, pregnant women are only permitted to travel up to 36 weeks pregnant. If you are expecting more than one baby, you are only permitted to travel up to 34 weeks of pregnancy. A GP should be consulted prior to travelling and Travel Insurance is recommended.
If you have any medical concerns or may need additional support during your journey, we recommend speaking with your doctor before travel and contacting us in advance so we can help make your journey as comfortable as possible.
We understand that travelling with children sometimes requires a little extra planning.
Family-friendly facilities are available on board, and our teams are happy to assist with:
- boarding
- lifts and step-free access
- prams and luggage
- locating family facilities on board
