Getting to Hull Cruise Terminal
By Car
Cruisers must enter the port via the Northern Gateway. From here you go to either the car parking facilities or arrivals to get the shuttle service to the terminal. If you are driving, the port is well signposted from the city centre.
By Public Transport
Hull is well connected from both north and south, usually via Doncaster. If using public transport, take the train to Hull Paragon Station and then the bus to the cruise port bus stop from the Interchange. This takes around 15 minutes but cannot take you directly to the terminal so a taxi would be better if with luggage. A taxi is the easiest way to the terminal from the city centre or station with luggage. It could be quite pricy if you don’t book beforehand but still cheaper than long-stay parking.
Hull Cruise Terminal Facilities
There are plenty of parking options but pre-booking is recommended. The price of parking is around £7 per 24 hours. The terminal has toilets and refreshments before checking in.
There is no disabled access parking close to the terminal. In addition, a short shuttle ride must take passengers to the terminal
